The problem of designing unique building structures in terms of predicting the climatic characteristics of premises is considered. These facilities include the Surfing Center, which is planned to be built in Moscow. An integral part of the design work is the determination of indoor humidity and the selection of parameters for climate control systems. Within the framework of solving this problem, a technique is developed for modeling the rate of evaporation from the surface of a swimming pool (pool) during active waves. The technique is based on the use of computational fluid dynamics methods in combination with the calibration of the empirical constants of the models according to the known experimental data for the evaporation rate in still water. According to the revised method, a correction factor to the formula of the VDI2089 standard is determined to estimate the rate of evaporation from the surface of the pool for the given wave parameters.
