Abstract

Wind towers are historic and Iranian vernacular architectural innovation, and they are building form ingredient that have climatic application. Wind tower is a key element in traditional architecture of Iran. It looks like big chimneys in sky line of ancient cities in Iran. It is a vertical shaft with vents on top to lead desired wind to the interior spaces and provide thermal comfort. Its advantage is using natural air as a cooler. This feature shows the compatibility of this architectural design with the environment. It conserves energy and functions on the basis of sustainability principles. A traditional wind tower that served as a cooling system, used to provide acceptable ventilation by means of a renewable energy of wind. In this research, wind tower is studies in the context of vernacular architecture of hot-dry climate of Iran. In the present study, the city of Yazd in arid climate is selected as case study. The desired wind currents in Yazd blow from the north-west. The long sides of wind towers are, therefore, oriented towards the north-west for maximum use of the wind to provide cooling for buildings. The tower head may have vents on one, two or four sides that face the predominant wind direction to accommodate wind in suitable directions. Studies indicate that four directional towers are the most popular wind tower. They have four main vertical shafts divided by partitions. The result of this research is that traditional architecture can give ideas to modern architecture. Climate and local construction materials have been considered in this design and renewable energy resources are used. It shows the harmony with nature. Traditional building techniques are normally well adapted to the climate and to the way of life imported western technology has often replaced the established tradition in the design of the building. There are whole ranges of examples which reflect how and why people organize their environment in various forms. One of reasons is climate. In this research wind towers are described in fields of function, structure, form. From the architecture point of view, learning about WIND CATCHERs in this study is done by the means of the field surveys. Research method for selection of the case is based on random form, and analytical method. WIND CATCHER TYPOLOGY and knowledge of the relationship governing the WIND CATCHER's architecture were those measures that are taken for the first time. 53 WIND CATCHERs were analyzed. The TYPOLOGY of the wind-catchers is done by the physical analyzing, patterns and common concepts as incorporated in them. How the architecture of WIND CATCHER can influence their operations by analyzing thermal behavior are the archetypes of selected WIND CATCHERs. This study has used calculating fluids dynamics science, FLUENT SOFTWARE and numerical analysis as the most accurate analytical approach. The results obtained from these analyses show the formal specifications of WIND CATCHERs with optimum operation in Yazd city. The knowledge obtained from the optimum model could be used for design and construction of WIND CATCHERs with more improved operation.
