Integrated CFD and wind-tunnel validation

Why validation matters

For high-stakes design decisions, clients and reviewers expect defensible evidence. A robust approach combines simulation with wind-tunnel benchmarking (or validated reference datasets) so uncertainty is explicit and traceable.

A practical integrated workflow

• Define: wind climate, exposure/terrain, and acceptance criteria.
• Simulate: CFD (LES for loads, RANS for PLW) with standardized setup.
• Extract: cladding pressures, global loads, and response-ready time histories.
• Validate: benchmark against wind-tunnel testing via WindFast (or comparable datasets).
• Report: document assumptions, sensitivity checks, and decision-ready outputs.

What DynaWind adds

• One unified project structure: fewer handoffs, fewer “lost” assumptions.
• Repeatable meshing/inflow templates for comparable studies.
• Outputs packaged for professional reporting and peer review.
