Fluids

The impact of wind on buildings is not a trivial subject. For basic geometry an approach based on regulations is usually sufficient; however, when the geometry of a building goes beyond standard typologies it is absolutely necessary to use the most advanced techniques.

At Strain Engineering, we have not only an exhaustive knowledge of the bibliography and regulations concerning wind-induced load on buildings and structures, but also the practical experience in design and supervision of trials in wind tunnels that makes a difference on complex projects.

In addition, we dominate various cutting-edge IT tools for fluid simulation (CFD). With these tools at hand, we offer services in the field of construction as well as in the field of industry, simulating and analysing systems with the objective of determining the actions that fluids will exercise on a surface. That way, we can select the most appropriate methods for our clients at every phase of a project.

Among our services related to wind engineering, we would like to highlight our ability to give advice on the environmental impact of wind on human beings. Using cutting edge software that is specifically developed to model and visualize wind flow, Strain Engineering provides thermal comfort analyses for design projects in order to predict complex air fluids in urban, suburban, and rural environments.
