Contemporarily, with the in-depth understanding of hydrodynamics, human beings are gradually applying the knowledge of fluids to architecture and making breakthroughs in this field. This paper discusses the applications of hydrodynamic on constructions based on literature review and information retrieval. Specifically, we demonstrate methods to take advantage of the effect of the wind on multistorey buildings and compares the impacts of different house layouts on the wind velocity around the buildings by 3D modelling and simulating the airflow around the buildings. In addition, the stability of suspension bridges and how to prevent damage are investigated by analysing static wind load and aerostatic instability. Based on calculating hydrodynamic loads, rope dipole moments, and external fluid predictions, the safety of the undersea tunnel is further addressed. These results shed light on fluid mechanics implementation in civil engineering.
