I am currently pursuing PhD in Architecture and wish to perform CFD simulation on existing buildings as part of my research analysis. I have been reading research publications on this topic, the information in them describes the use of CFD but does not specify CFD software used.
Guidance is welcomed from anyone working in this field.
Thank you.
Dear Rishika,
Ansys fluent can be one of options.
Also follow the discussion attached with the link

Dear Rishika Shah :
I'm sure SIMSCALE can help you
This is a CFD simulation software, it is particularly focused in Fluid Dynamics and HVAC for buildings applications.
The advantage with this software is that you can try it online for free, go here please:

Thank you all for your recommendations! Syed Mughees Ali Franklin Uriel Parás Hernández Han Soolo
I would imagine that the Institute you are studying at will have CFD software available. It would be worth investigating what is available, maybe from other departments. I would advise on caution when using Open Source software as it can be difficult to get help, especially if it is a niche area.
Thank you Thomas Beard for the input. We have ANSYS in the Mechanical Engineering Department.
