DOI: https://doi.org/In recent years, the impact of wind on structures has become an increasing concern, particularly in areas affected by extreme climatic conditions. This research focuses on the aerodynamic design and analysis of a greenhouse optimized for these conditions, using Autodesk CFD software to evaluate wind distribution and pressure on the structure. The design is based on a mathematical surface described by the equation z = acos(Sqrt(cos(xy))), forming a ribbed vault. Additionally, Autodesk Inventor was used to create a 3D model of the simulated structure. The simulation results reveal variations in wind speed around the surface and the location of negative pressure zones, which helped identify the most vulnerable areas and improve aerodynamic efficiency under adverse climatic conditions. To validate these results, comparative tests were conducted using a wind tunnel and a scaled prototype of the structure. This study demonstrated the effectiveness of aerodynamic simulation software, providing a deeper understanding of wind behavior and its impact on buildings. The findings can contribute to the development of more resilient and efficient structures in areas with extreme climatic conditions, fostering innovative solutions in the design of agricultural infrastructure and buildings.
