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.

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.
