Wind disturbance presents a formidable challenge to the flight performance of multi-rotor
small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs). This paper presents a comprehensive review of …

Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is a very common physical phenomenon which extensively
exists in nature, human daily life and many engineering applications. The lattice Boltzmann …

In this study the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computational fluid dynamics
methodology is used, which has proved to be a powerful tool for the simulations of the …

Birds modulate their flight paths in relation to regional and global airflows in order to reduce
their travel costs. Birds should also respond to fine-scale airflows, although the incidence …

This paper reviews recent findings in the field of flow and pollutant dispersion modelling
around buildings and within complex urban geometries. Complexity is not only associated to …

Unexpected releases of hazardous airborne materials may happen in various
circumstances, more frequently in accidental situations, less usually due to malicious …

Although unmanned air vehicles' increasing agility and autonomy may soon allow for flight
in urban environments, the impact of complex urban wind fields on vehicle flight …

Increasing urbanization, evolving urban landscapes, and growing populations require an
accurate representation of urban areas and urban processes at microscale, regional, and …
