This article deals with the state-of-the-art of experimental and numerical studies carried out
regarding air pollutant dispersion in urban environments. Since the simulation of the …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the climate of cities and human settlements can
affect building performance and human comfort. Historically, ambient data were collected …

The study presented in this paper aims to simulate a standing-wave thermoacoustic engine
(SWTAE) system by capturing its nonlinear thermoacoustic features with three-dimensional …

Wind flows inside complex urban environments are determined by the mutual effect of large-
scale (ie, wind above the urban boundary layer, UBL) and local-scale forcing (ie constraints …

Constructing tall buildings has been a common trend for many cities due to rapid increase of
population, therefore, it is essential to analyze wind pressure around and over these tall …

The prediction of the dispersion of air pollutants in urban areas is of great importance to
public health, homeland security, and environmental protection. Computational Fluid …

High-rise buildings in modern cities can hinder airflow and cause a weak local wind
condition that intensifies pedestrian-level thermal discomfort. The lift-up design has been …

Several model validation studies on gas dispersion scenarios have been conducted in the
past on the Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) based eddy viscosity turbulence …

Multiple toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide (CO), are generated after blasting of plateau
tunnel. To study the influence of high-altitude environment on the diffusion and …

Rational layout of vegetation can significantly alleviate the urban heat-island effect and
improve outdoor thermal environment. However, quantitative researches about the impact of …
