Investigating the impact of suburban residential building arrangements in furnace cities on inter-building wind speed fields is useful and cost-effective for scientifically optimizing layouts. This study simulated 13 wind speed fields across six symmetric and asymmetric building arrangements: linear, inclined, convex, concave, M-shaped, and V-shaped, with varying building offsets and spacing widths. We used the standard k\u2013\u03b5 model for simulations through finite element method. Results demonstrated that larger building offsets enhanced inter-building wind speeds, with the concave arrangement most effectively enhanced the wind speed between buildings among the configurations. V-shaped arrangements slightly underperformed concave layouts in wind speed uniformity. Based on the summer wind direction data from Wuhan Tianhe Meteorological Station, we propose two corresponding layouts: concave and V-shaped arrangements, which are conductive to enhancing inter-building wind speed. In practical planning, the orientation of building clusters can be adjusted according to the local wind rose diagram.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym17101699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]],"date-time":"2025-10-10T12:32:47Z","timestamp":1760099567000},"page":"1699","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Numerical Simulation of the Wind Speed Field Around Suburban Residential Buildings with Different Arrangements"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Xuchong","family":"Yi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geophysics, School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shuangxi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geophysics, School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"},{"name":"Science and Technology Department, City University of Wuhan, Wuhan 430083, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Makvandi, M., Li, W., Ou, X., Chai, H., Khodabakhshi, Z., Fu, J., Yuan, P.F., and Horimbere, E.d.l.J.
