Modelling and simulation of physical ambient factors : noise and wind in tropical climate - Contribution to optimized urban forms

In tropical humid climate, thermal environment can be controlled using natural ventilation. But this technic raises the problem of acoustic comfort. Some technical devices coping with aeraulic and acoustic comfort constraints exist but they are not suitable in all economic context. Thus the urban research is exploring built configurations performances for future urban planning. This article presents an exploratory simulation method of these physical parameters, and analyses results of two guadeloupean urban fabric tests.
