This study puts forward a general CFD modeling framework to develop highly detailed models of the research area. Through the combination of field measurements and numerical simulations, the influencing factors of microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) during summer in the Rizhao coastal tourism area, located in a cold region of China, were systematically investigated. Specifically, we created the highly detailed 3D model of the study area based on drone photogrammetry. Subsequently, coupled simulations of wind speed (WS), air temperature (Ta), and relative humidity (RH) were conducted in ANSYS Fluent for the prevailing summer wind direction and typical time periods. To assess tourism suitability, a comprehensive OTC evaluation index was established using the information entropy weight method. Based on simulation results, thermal discomfort areas were visually identified. Results indicate that wind is the key factor in regulating microclimate and OTC. It achieves cooling effects by driving the transfer of heat and water vapor. Ventilation performance (VP) and OTC exhibit a significant negative correlation at 7:00 (R² = 0.83, R² = 0.62, R² = 0.77 respectively at 90°, 135°, 180° wind direction), with the wind cooling performance producing negative feedback. At 16:00, however, a moderate positive correlation emerges (R² = 0.63, R² = 0.56, R² = 0.45 respectively at 90°, 135°, 180° wind direction), where the cooling performance of wind flow generates positive feedback. These findings provide a basis for improving the microclimate in tourism areas, while also serve as a case study for developing strategies to improve OTC.
