Abstract
A numerical study of the wind speed conditions in passages between parallel buildings has been conducted, supported by CFD validation. The numerical simulation of a horizontally homogeneous atmospheric boundary layer flow is vital for the successful application of CFD in pedestrian-level wind studies. Close agreement between the numerical and the experimental results has been obtained. The simulation results show that the Venturi-effect in open passages between buildings, at least for the cases studied here, is very weak.
