SECTORS
Civil Engineering & Building Design
At Slidian, we perform CFD-based wind engineering studies to evaluate the impact of atmospheric loads on exposed structures and installations such as towers, support structures, rooftop equipment, stacks, and other outdoor industrial assets.
These analyses accurately characterize the interaction between wind and structures, providing critical information for structural design and mechanical safety verification under real operating conditions, including extreme wind events.
Wind Loads and Regulatory Compliance
We simulate airflow around structures to calculate wind-induced forces and moments, identifying the most critical conditions for the design of anchors, foundations, and support systems.
CFD results provide pressure distributions and pressure coefficients across exposed surfaces, allowing precise definition of aerodynamic loads for structural design.
Our analyses follow internationally recognized standards, including Eurocode and ASCE guidelines.
These studies allow us to:
- Calculate global forces and localized loads at critical points
- Determine overturning moments and anchor system loads
- Verify structural stability against displacement and uplift
- Evaluate the influence of nearby structures on wind acceleration and recirculation effects
Design and Validation of Outdoor Air Intakes and Exhaust Systems
In many industrial and technical building projects, the correct placement and design of outdoor air intakes and ventilation exhaust outlets are critical for ensuring safe and efficient HVAC and process operation.
At Slidian, we use CFD simulations to help engineering teams define the optimal configuration of these systems by evaluating wind interaction and preventing undesirable phenomena such as recirculation and contaminated air re-entry.
These studies enable us to:
- Validate the position and orientation of air intakes and exhaust stacks
- Prevent recirculation of gases and contaminants into air intake systems
- Analyze emission dispersion under different wind conditions
- Optimize exhaust height, geometry, and flow rate
- Ensure concentrations and temperatures remain within acceptable limits in sensitive areas
This provides a key engineering tool for the design of outdoor ventilation systems, reducing operational risks, improving environmental safety, and ensuring compliance with applicable regulations.
