AAF performed a preliminary CFD of the HKUST campus area. This demonstration case was performed on the HKUST HPC system. The simulation was performed using the OpenFOAM CFD suite. 

The computational grid was developed using Geographic Information System (GIS) databases of the building and local terrain. The computational domain extends a region of 2 km by 1.5 km. The domain height ranged by 530 m to cover the local mountainous terrain, as well as a sufficient portion of the local atmosphere. 

The results plotted in this demonstrate the preliminary flow field of Category 5 hurricane-force winds coming from the East.
