ABSTRACT:The windscops are designed mainly to direct the wind and fresh air in the buildings. The windscops are able to gather the outside air and direct it into the building. If we want to make a windscops very effective, it shall be able to rotate on all directions. The windscops performance reaches to its top point when they are designed to direct the air for a big hall like an amusement park, etc. In this paper we paid more of our focus on performance analysis for a type of windscops which are installed on tower peaks. At first, we conducted analysis by means of GAMBIT software regarding the geometric model of windscops and the structure analysis, and then we continued to analyze them by means of FLUENT software regarding their pattern of flow. The results of such analyses were demonstrated as velocity on X&Y directions, and flow pattern. Keywords:Windscops, Natural Ventilation, CFD, Renewable Energy, FLUENT
