Experience

Dr Niall O’Sullivan heads Windtech’s London office and is responsible for overseeing Windtech’s CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) Group. Niall has a PhD in fluid-structure interaction using a combination of CFD and full-scale measurements as well as a masters degree in mechanical engineering, where he studied wind tunnel design. He has 8 years experience in CFD and environmental studies.

Prior to joining Windtech, Niall led CFD for environmental design, sustainability and mechanical engineering at a global architectural firm, working on numerous noteworthy projects and running countless simulations in the built environment.

Since January 2018, Niall has combined this extensive experience with Windtech’s wind tunnel data and has developed the Windtech methodology to further the accuracy and reliability of wind modelling studies, natural ventilation modelling, thermal comfort modelling, thermal stack effect and double skin façade performance modelling, to name a few.

As CFD is fast becoming the technology of choice for a growing number and range of projects it is now more important than ever that the right expertise is employed. Niall not only stays up to date with the latest in the industry, but also leads the way: he is on the committee for BS8579 (guide to design for balconies and terraces) and presents at international conferences as lead author.

Niall also provides support to Windtech’s New York office.
