Rain Infiltration & Snow and Sand Drifting CFD assessment

HOME     <Environmental Solutions <   Rain Infiltration & Snow and Sand Drifting CFD assessment

Rain infiltration, snow and sand drifting into a building can result from different factors (aerodynamic, thermal and structural) affecting buildings. These factors can increase rain flood, snow loads and icing on and around buildings and result in reduced building performance.

EASTechnology uses CFD models to evaluate the influence of temperature, solar radiation, heat loss from the building and the effects of wind and rain on snow and sand accumulation and drifting on and around buildings.

At EASTechnology, we can provide solutions to problems related to:

  • Rain droplets through louvers
  • Rain stagnation zones
  • Rain infiltration through roofs
  • Snow/sand accumulation
  • Snow/sand depth prediction
