Simulation Analysis and Planning Strategies for the Wind Environment of Residential Quarter in Harbin

Currently, a residential quarter is the main form of residential buildings in China, whose surrounding microclimate, especially the wind environment, has a great impact on the living quality of residents. Based on the climate conditions of Harbin, which is located in the severe cold zone in China, this chapter selects five typical layouts of residential communities, and analyses the characters of wind environment in winter within each layout mode using Fluent software. The optimal distribution mode and planning strategies are hopefully proposed, as well as the corresponding improvement methods according to the existing problems. It is suggested that the prediction and evaluation of wind environment of residential communities should be carried on from the stage of planning and design, in order to eliminate the negative factors in time.
