Research on Wind Environment and Morphological Effects of High-Rise Buildings in Macau: An Example from the New Reclamation Area around Areia Preta.

The Macau peninsula is close to the tropical ocean, with a high population density and a large number of high-rise buildings, which require a windy environment with good ventilation and heat dissipation. Based on residential samples and the degree of agglomeration, the high-rise residential area in Areia Preta was selected as the focus of this study. Meanwhile, summer typhoons pose serious safety risks to high-rise buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to study the connection between spatial form and the wind environment. First of all, this research is based on relevant concepts and the wind environment evaluation system of high-rise buildings and conducts research on high-rise residential areas in Areia Preta. PHOENICS software is used to simulate the prevailing monsoon in winter and summer, as well as a typhoon in an extreme wind environment, and summarize the wind environment's characteristics. Secondly, by comparing the parameter calculation and simulation results, the possible relationship between the causes of each wind field is studied. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the urban form and wind environment of the site, and corresponding control strategies are proposed to reduce the shielding effect between buildings and typhoon damage. It can be used as a theoretical basis and reference point for urban construction and high-rise building planning and layout.
