Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Hey! 

I'm an architecture student from Estonia and recently we got a "Energy Design" project. 
Students had to pick themselves a topic and i took "Wind". 

Being new to grasshopper and all of the plugins that are available, I found myself in a quite difficult problematic.

I did a lot of google search/work and found some information, but still kind of haven't got the information that I need or want to use.
Note: Our school has provided us 3 hours of basic Grasshopper tutorial and one hour of Honeybee/Ladybug temperature tutorial (with weather data etc).


For now I have used Grasshopper and Kangaroo, haven't quite implemented other plugins. 

What I want to achieve?

I want to create a basic wind simulation in a room (cube at first, but then add more space and use different models) that I can change inside grasshopper. For example I have two openings. I blow wind inside the object from one opening and it goes out the other opening. When I change the wind parameters I can analyse the wind and data that is flowing through the cube. 

Is there a way I can visualize the wind?


I have seen different solutions, but mainly vectors with colors that are visualized as wind direction and temperature. Is it possible to make it 3D that I can actually make a real-life model out of it?

Why cube?

At first I want to test it and see how it works, if it is viable or not. In the end I would create a facade that is designed for natural ventilation. I am kind of trying to put two projects together. One for the wind analysis, the other for the 3D-Result that is created with the wind. 

It might be a quite awful that I am asking, but I don't know where to go after doing the google research. Also, some Grasshopper links I found that might help describe the situation.

(Should I approach it with Ladybug and Ecotect?)

Thanks,
