Scenarios
The scenarios were selected based on the Sistan wind rose, analysed by 65 years of wind data. In total, four different wind scenarios were selected.
2 scenarios for wind direction (17 and 30)
2 scenarios for wind speed (10 , 15 m/s)
Results
Vortices behind deflectors lead to changing the wind direction and laminar flow on the vents. By this, the vacuum from vents would be guaranteed.
