I am not sure about OpenStudio, but the ZoneVentilation:WindandStackOpenArea input object has a field called Maximum Wind Speed. There is no modeling of vortexes, but we know it is correlated with strong wind. The idea is that the papers will fly when the outside wind gets above some speed so people will shut the window. So if you pick a wind speed limit, the model can shut off open area ventilation during those times, to avoid over-prediction of natural ventilation.
