Hi all,

I´m studying a master in renewable energies, and i´m writing my project about the small wind or urban wind, or however you have heard its name.

Regarding that, i´m thinking about introducing the study of the wind simulation around the building to find out the best spot to place the small mill.

So, if we take 2 standard problems, a) a standard house and b) a standard building. I don´t know much about their standard sizes, just how they look like. I haven´t studied architecture :-(
But i think you can imagine what problem i´m talking about.

Then, i´d like to know what kind of problems i´m talking about in terms of complexity. We could take standard pressure of air, lets say 25ºC of temperature. Don´t know about viscous or unviscous. But may main question goes about the complexity of the computation, number of cells, estimated time with standard equipment.

I take out of the problem the surroundings, this goes in another study.

An extra question, do you know where i can find in the web buildings files already in CAD or the appropiate format, that i could run in FLUENT or OpenFOAM??


Thank you very much in advance,

Miguel
