Basic Wind Speed (V0)

Site-specific basic wind speed from meteorological data.

Wind engineering study

What it is

A survey of alternative basic wind speeds (V0) for the site from nearby meteorological station data, going beyond the standard isopleth map. Available on its own or combined with the other wind studies.

When you need it

When the code's basic wind speed map is too coarse for your site, or you want a defensible, data-backed design wind speed - on its own, or as the input to a comfort, pressure, topographic or structural study.

What we deliver

Collection and treatment of nearby meteorological station data
Site-specific basic wind speed (V0) alternatives
Comparison against the standard isopleth map
A direct input to the wind-load and comfort studies

How we do it

1

Identify nearby meteorological stations with representative records.

2

Collect and treat the wind data, correcting for station height, terrain and exposure.

3

Derive basic wind speed (V0) alternatives and compare them against the standard map.

4

Deliver the documented alternatives, ready to feed the wind studies.

Trusted & validated

Why you can trust our results

We are not a physical wind tunnel - we are a CFD specialist whose results are validated against wind tunnel measurements. AeroSim is an international reference in computational wind engineering.
