This chapter attempts to scan various wind aerodynamic responses relevant
to buildings that could be utilised for wind energy generation. It highlights some
natural ventilation mechanisms and processes that allow continuous air streams
amenable to further streamlining for wind energy generation. This study analyses
various types of flows and their characteristics. Further streamlining of architectural
forms to generate optimal wind flows prior to energy harvesting is discussed.
Keywords: Aerodynamic architectural design, Aerofoils, Aerofoil optimisation,
Bernoulli effect, Venturi effect, Wind flow types.
