Asbads are a sign of creativity, initiative and innovation of Iranians in the hot and dry climate and windy areas of eastern Iran. The 120 day winds have been the main factor and motivation for the invention of Asbads in Sistan region. Varmal Asbad is built inside a complex of residential buildings and from this point of view is unique. The purpose of this article is the interaction of Asbad Wormal architecture with the characteristics of the natural environment in terms of orientation with the 120-day winds of Sistan, emphasizing CFD computational fluid dynamics simulation. The research method is descriptive-analytical and based on documentary studies and field surveys in the scope of the research.The volume of the architectural mass was designed with Revit software.Urba Wind-Meteodyn software was used for geometric preparation and Ansys Fluent software was used for simulation. Ansys Meshing software was used to generate grid independence, and WRPLOT View software was used to identify wind parameters. The results of CFD computational fluid dynamics simulation show how the wind flows based on the speeds of 3 and 6 meters per second, in the direction of the 120-day winds; The northwest wind creates more air flow in Asbad than the north wind, and as a result, it increases the air circulation for more functions of Asbad. The results shows that due to the location of Varmal Asbad within the complex of residential buildings, this particular type of Asbad has had more diverse functions than other Asbads in eastern Iran. In such a way that the proper use of the 120-day winds is an effective help in creating air circulation in the floors of the building and natural ventilation in the indoor spaces during the hot days of the year, and it shows the interaction of the architecture of Varmal Asbad with the natural environment. Therefore, apart from grain grinding, the applications of Varmal Asbad have been for natural ventilation and cooling.
