Large-eddy simulations (LES) are conducted to study the transport of momentum and passive scalar within and over a real urban canopy in the City of Boston, USA. This urban …
In this study, a series of large-eddy simulations are conducted to explore the dynamics of turbulence within the urban canopy. Two idealized urban-like geometries (staggered and …

In the present work, a boundary layer developing over a rough-wall consisting of staggered cubes with a plan area packing density λ p= 25% is studied within the wind tunnel using …
Hot-wire measurements were performed in a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer overlying both a smooth and a rough wall for the purpose of investigating the details of …

Urban wind power shows a great potential and plays a significant role for a sustainable city. As a fundamental issue, the interaction between the wind-turbine wake and a building array …
High-Reynolds-number experiments are conducted in the roughness sublayer of a turbulent boundary layer developing over a cubical canopy. Stereoscopic particle image velocimetry …

The sinusoidal roughness effect is investigated using a direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer (TBL) over three-dimensional sinusoidal …
We describe and explain the turbulent processes at play in the lower part of the urban boundary layer through performing a large-eddy simulation of the flow over an urban-like …
