Abstract
Outdoor wind environment has become markedly worse in recent years during winter in severe cold regions of China. The subject of the study is wind environment of the courtyard, which is an important part of rural housing and village life in China, and the quality of the wind environment, in a way, affects the using comfort of the residential indoor and outdoor thermal environment in winter. This chapter applies the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to simulate the wind distribution characteristics of seven cases, which have different courtyard orientation, scale, building arrangement, and the height and materials of fences. Then the design strategies are put forward which can effectively avoid the adverse effects of cold wind in winter of severe cold regions.
