The impact of urban devel-opment on the ventilation of residential areas

The article considers the issues of studying the wind regime of the territory of residential areas. The re-sults of modeling a residential area and the distribution of wind flows on its territory using the Ansys Discovery Live software package are presented. The analysis of the wind regime of the residential area is carried out from the point of view of ventilation, and therefore, the comfort of a person's presence in it, comfortable and uncomfortable aeration zones are determined. The study was carried out for a residential complex under construction in the city of Chelyabinsk, consisting of four groups of houses of different heights with individual courtyards, with a north-west direction of the in-coming wind flow. An assessment of the comfort of the studied territory is given. The use of multifunctional software packages for computer modeling of the wind regime of designed and built residential buildings is relevant at present, since information on the nature of the wind regime helps to improve the comfort and safety of cities for the population.
