In the last decades, a tendency towards urban tissue densification has been observed to
counteract the urban sprawl. Densification may be achieved through more compact built …

Air pollution and heat stress are major concerns associated with the liveability, resilience
and sustainability of cities. They directly affect health and comfort and are associated with …

The correct prediction of air pollutants dispersed in urban areas is of paramount importance
to safety, public health and a sustainable environment. Vehicular traffic is one of the main …

In reduced-order modeling, complex systems that exhibit high state-space dimensionality
are described and evolved using a small number of parameters. These parameters can be …

In conventional modeling of air pollution dispersion, pollutants are treated as passive
scalars or inert species even though most of them are chemically reactive [1]. Chemical …

In the present article, we introduce a local hybrid RANS/LES turbulence model, the Flow-
based Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation (Fb-SBES). The methodology is applied to urban …

Climate change has already begun to take visible effect globally in recent years. Given the
climate change paradox and urbanization trends, cities' success would not only depend on …

The computational fluid dynamics-based design of next-generation aeronautical combustion
chambers is challenging due to many geometrical and operational parameters to be …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to accurately model and predict the dispersion
of a passive scalar in the atmospheric wind flow field within an urban setting. The Mock …

The motorcycle is a common mode of transport in many countries. Although there exist
abundant studies on emissions from internal combustion engine motorcycles, little is known …
