Results of the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation on Hut 1. 1-5) Five transverse sections of the apse at increasing heights; 6) frontal view with vector representation of flow deviation; G) lateral view; H) zenithal pressure map; white circles indicate zones of localized pressure variation along the sinusoidal lateral walls, where the undulating profile generates alternating pressure differentials rather than a single concentrated load, consistent with the energy-dissipation mechanism described by Li et al. 2025 for macro-corrugated surfaces. Simulated wind from NWSE at 30 m s⁻¹ (~110 km h⁻¹). Static-pressure scale (Pa): +558 (red), +302 (orange), 0 (yellow-green), –210 (light green), –466 (cyan), –722 (blue), –977 (dark blue).
