Wind Optimization
Wind Optimization is a way to shape buildings and structures so that wind moves around them in a safe and smooth way. In structural design, this means using computer models and wind tunnel tests to find the best angles, curves, and surfaces for things like tall buildings, bridges, and stadiums. Designers can use small changes in the shape of a building, such as rounded corners or special fins, to lower the force of the wind and help the building stay strong and stable. Some new buildings use sensors that measure wind in real time, and these sensors help the building adjust things like window shades or vents to keep the inside comfortable and safe.
