Study on the influence of voids on high-rise building on the wind environment

In line with the above analysis, research done so far about porous model in building simulation mainly focused on large scale level such as urban planning. It is insufficient for investigations on single construction scale such as single building. Compared with the solid model, the porous model takes up less computer resources and lower grid resolution which significantly influences the computational time. However, the indispensable complex configuration of porous model shows difficulties for non-professionals such as building designers as well. Hence, future researches should be performed on application of porous model on single building thermal and ventilation characteristic and simplification of porous model simulation.
