Wind: an environmental data stack
This chapter focuses on software techniques for modeling and managing wind. As part of the broader field of computational fluid dynamics, questions oftechnical interfaces are read as part of a longer media history of wind, which also links to discussions around “wind humanities.” In this chapter, a specific placeis reserved for discussions about abstraction—both as data but also as a central element of wind’s own ontology. The text proposes the notion of an “environmental data stack” as a placeholder term to understand the multiscalar management and computation of elemental media of fluids.

Abstract

This chapter focuses on software techniques for modeling and managing wind. As part of the broader field of computational fluid dynamics, questions oftechnical interfaces are read as part of a longer media history of wind, which also links to discussions around “wind humanities.” In this chapter, a specific placeis reserved for discussions about abstraction—both as data but also as a central element of wind’s own ontology. The text proposes the notion of an “environmental data stack” as a placeholder term to understand the multiscalar management and computation of elemental media of fluids.
