Air pollution causes the largest death toll among environmental risks globally, but
interventions to purify ambient air remain inadequate. Vegetation and green spaces have …

Urban microclimate studies are gaining popularity due to rapid urbanization. Many studies
documented that urban microclimate can affect building energy performance, human …

Evidence has emerged that SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, can be
transmitted airborne in aerosol particles as well as in larger droplets or by surface deposits …

Abstract Information on pedestrian-level wind (PLW) speed for wind comfort assessment can
be obtained by wind-tunnel measurements or Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) …

Urban geometry influences urban microclimate by changing both radiation and ventilation
processes. Full-scale experiments provide significant information on urban microclimate but …

The assumption that vegetation improves air quality is prevalent in scientific, popular, and
political discourse. However, experimental and modeling studies show the effect of green …

This paper discusses the combined influence of building morphology and trees on air
pollutant concentrations in the Marylebone neighbourhood (central London). Computational …

The paper reviews the evolution of computational wind engineering from environmental and
structural perspectives, since the inaugural conference of computational wind engineering …

High-rise deep street canyons usually experience poor ventilation and large vehicular
pollutant exposure to residents in near-road buildings. Investigations are still required to …

The accuracy and reliability of 3D steady RANS CFD simulations of wind flow in urban
environments can be affected by numerical settings including the turbulence model and the …
