The present study addresses the influences of wind flow structure, as an important factor responsible of material damage(erosion contributing) on “Casa di Diana” Mithraeum, a roman building (130 A.D.) sited on Ostia Antica (archaeologicalsite, Rome – Italy), through the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and direct measurements for itsverification and validation (V&V). In this preliminary work, we present results relating to 3D reconstruction (geometry ofthe entire building) and the mesh importing on Fluent software. In general, the data check confirms, with ±10%, a goodagreement (model) between the numerical solutions and direct measurements data by portable sensor. For this, themodel proposed could be applied on similar cases, buildings characterised by different “boundary conditions”, to predictwithout direct measurements, the air movement in these ventilated spaces.
