Computer Design and Simulation of Built Environment; Application to Forest

Amir Mosavi Fac. of Inf., Univ. of Debrecen, Debrecen, Hungary

Abstract In this paper computer environmental planning in the field of forestry is studied. Forestry planning's target is focused on sustainable ecology development rather than economic concerns. Aim of this research is the creating new planting patterns which makes the future forest more safer against the affects of wind as an example to simulation the sustainable environment. For the reason of computer environment process simulation and planning the forest, recent technological advances in the field of computer aided design and computer aided engineeign are applied. Following it the application of multi-objective optimization based design in automative forest planning is presented.

Fig. 7 shows the initial parametric modeling of forest holding a random planting patter.

4. Conclusions
Optimization package automatically simulated and optimized the objectives. Results of simulations have been also automatically appeared as a CAD model. The presented workflow of simulation and design process was an example of environmental simulation and design which could be useful in simulation of further environmental subjects. Approaching the optimal planting pattern is the result of successful coupling CAD and CFD. This method of design which is based on optimization could deliver the result faster and more accurate. The results show that the planting pattern has effect on reducing the speed of the wind at the positions of trees by seven percent. Because of some reasons such as non-accurate model of trees, mistakes of converting topographic map into CAD, direction of the wind and etc the result is not accurate but it could be trustable. The presented optimal planting pattern has much to learn and study. Taking a look at optimal model and focusing on the area without trees shows that leaving some place empty on the site might reduce the speed of wind. Other points regarding optimal model of forest are listed below. These gathered points as the results of optimizations because of the few number of simulated patterns are not certainly true. In order to have more trustable results, the number of the simulated patterns must be increased: (i) Minimizing the distance between trees reduce the speed of the wind in some places, (ii) High risk places which have high speed wind are leaved free, (iii) Area with high slope are not good place for planting, maybe it causes increasing the speed of wind on the places of other trees or maybe in this area the speed of wind is naturally high.
