The ventilation potential of buildings is widely affected by the building location, wind direction, space between buildings : so when high-rise buildings are too close, the influence of adjacent buildings on the availability of cross-ventilation has to be taken into account.
This paper reports the results of CFD simulation studies on that effect.
