SOUTH QUAY PLAZA
PURGE VENTILATION ANALYSIS
Located at the heart of the Isle of Dogs, South Quay plaza has had a major role in revitalising the dockyard area. Due to the height of the tower, the compliance with building regulations was in doubt because of the effect the local micro climate may have in regards to Ventolin the apartment. CFD analysis provided quay information to access the apartments ability to undergo purge ventilation during a variety of wind conditions.
RESIDENTIAL RETAIL
PURGE VENTILATION OF TALL BUILDINGS
With buildings becoming taller and the space for services being restrictive, the need to analysis the performance of roof top plant equipment under varying wind conditions has vital importance to ensure effect use of chillers and other equipment at high level.
Detailed Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling is was required to model the wind flow through the architecturally designed facade and to evaluate the performance of the chillers during these conditions.
HIGH LEVEL OF DETAIL
A focus of the performance of the chillers on the roof top of the Newfoundland development led to a detailed model of the facade with gradient of perforated holes, along with walkways and other pipework that are located at the high level.
Through modelling at a high detail how the air flow would pass through the facade as well as through the other building elements, the analysis could evaluated o f recirculation occurred and where heat was increasing around the plant area.

With buildings becoming taller and the space for services being restrictive, the need to analysis the performance of roof top plant equipment under varying wind conditions has vital importance to ensure effect use of chillers and other equipment at high level.
Detailed Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling is rehired to firstly model the wind flow through the architecturally designed facade and barriers, and then to evaluate the perofamnce of the chillers during these conditions.
