LES Study Supplementary Files for Wind-Driven Single-Sided Ventilation

6.0 MB of supplementary video files accompany a CFD analysis of wind-dominant single-sided natural ventilation. The files, authored by Nima Najafi Ziarani and last updated in May 2026, support a study using Large Eddy Simulation to investigate airflow near a three-storey building facade. Results indicate that only three-fifths of the flow at an opening contributes to effective ventilation.

Use Cases

• Visualizing near-facade flow structures based on the CFD analysis described
• Comparing ventilation performance based on opening positions mentioned in the study
• Analyzing tracer gas decay results referenced in the description
• Studying the interaction between external and internal flows for building ventilation design

Strengths

• Files are associated with a peer-reviewed CFD study validated using wind tunnel studies
• The data is openly licensed under CC-BY 4.0
• The study investigates four distinct case studies with different opening positions

Limitations

• The dataset consists only of MP4 video files; no tabular or numerical data is provided
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent, limiting suitability assessment
• The data is specific to an isolated cube model, which may not represent real-world building complexities
