Hi all,

I have been reading this site for some weeks even I haven't been registered. So first of all, thank you for making this site possible.

As you can read the title, I'm not even a begginer. I'm mechanical engineer and I'm researcher on building envelopes in a technological center. Next October I'm starting my phd classes so i have to admit i'm quit happy.

The point is that I have no idea about CFDs, not even about Fluid Dynamics. I studied some things in the career but not much. However, i know this is where i want to work and make my phd. Thanks to my job I'm a FEM expert. I would like to simulate on CFD the effect of the wind pressure on tall buildings. Same as some researchers make on a wind tunnel.

I would be very pleased if someone would tell me how could i start (books, articles,...) learning about this wonderful and complicated science.

What kind of books, programs, code, do you recommend? Does anybody work with CFDs aplied to buildings?

Thank you very much!!!

IGG
