====== Wind Field Diastrophy ====== The purpose of the Wind Field Diastrophy is to progress slowly from an undisturbed flow in the model area to a flow around the structure. To obtain this the buildings are made "solid" in 3 steps: In the first step (100%), the wind speed at the facades equals the free flow velocity, in the second (50%) it is half the free stream velocity and in the final step (0%) the wind speed is zero at the building walls which is the normal condition. ===== Possible Problems & Solution ===== ==== High divergence after diastrophy ==== If the model are is very complex, the model might have troubles to solve the wind field. Possible solutions: Small modifications in the model, increase the border grids or increase the model height. See also [[kb:flow|Knowledge Base 10: Flow Problems]]
