This paper presents a study of the effects of wind-induced airflow through the urban built layout pattern using statistical analysis. This study investigates the association between typically enclosed office building layout patterns and the wind environment. First of all, this study establishes an ideal site model of 200 m × 200 m and obtains four typical multi-story enclosed office building group layouts, namely the multi-yard parallel opening, the multi-yard returning shape opening, the overall courtyard parallel opening, and the overall courtyard returning shape opening. Then, the natural ventilation performance of different building morphologies is further evaluated via the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software Phoenics. This study compares wind speed distribution at an outdoor pedestrian height (1.5 m). Finally, the natural ventilation performance corresponding to the four layout forms is obtained, which showed that the outdoor wind environment of the multi-yard type is more comfortable than the overall courtyard type, and the degree of enclosure of the building group is related to the advantages and disadvantages of the outdoor wind environment. The quantitative relevance between building layout and wind environment is examined, according to which the results of an ameliorated layout proposal are presented and assessed by Phoenics. This research could provide a method to create a livable urban wind environment.
The development mode of deep shale gas “Pad drilling” cluster horizontal wells could greatly reduce the single-well drilling cost and is also the significant measure for scale benefit development of shale gas. For pad drilling, the small wellhead distance of cluster well group, complicated well profile and long horizontal section result in such engineering problems as high well collision probability in upper well section, high trajectory control difficulties and large drill string torque and drag. A reasonable 3D horizontal well profile and the reasonable profile parameters are the premise for the safe and rapid drilling of shale gas horizontal well. Therefore, optimizing type and the well profile parameters suitable for deep shale gas horizontal well could help improve drilling efficiency, lower drilling risk and save drilling cost. In this paper, the three types of trajectory profile, including 3D trajectory in spatial oblique plane (large 3D), dual 2D trajectory and dual 2D and small 3D combined trajectory profile were developed, and under the same surface location and target zone, three different types of shale gas horizontal well were planed; the differences of these three trajectories in well depth, drill string torque and drag and well separation factor were compared through drill string torque and drag analysis and collision prevention analysis. The analysis results show: Dual 2D trajectory or dual 2D and small 3D combined trajectory is featured by small drill string drag and torque, low trajectory control difficulty and low well collision probability and is therefore more suitable for trajectory plan of deep shale gas horizontal wells.
