Various micro-scale models for comparing alternative design concepts have been
developed in recent decades. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of current …

Large-eddy simulation (LES) models, such as the PALM modeling system in this study, are
actively used for urban micro-climate modeling. We consider urban LES in a broader context …

We investigate the heat stress mitigation potential of greening strategies in Prague using a
configuration of the PALM-4U model that has been rigorously evaluated with measurements …

Urban air quality is an important part of human well-being, and its detailed and precise
modeling is important for efficient urban planning. In this study the potential sources of errors …

The modelling of thermal exposure in outdoor urban environments is a highly topical
challenge in modern climate research. This paper presents the results derived from a new …

Sophisticated urban climate systems, influenced by the interaction of mesoscale circulation
and microscale forcing, cannot be adequately described using solely mesoscale or …

Climate change and increasing urbanization call for the effective adaptation of cities to
extreme heat. To improve the applicability of the research, sophisticated computational fluid …

Increasing heat in urban environments has recently become one of the most dangerous
climate hazards due to its adverse impacts on urban populations. Implementing street-level …

This study assesses the impacts of sustainable urban development adapted to climate
change in the city of Stuttgart, Germany. We use the state-of-the-art meteorological …

The development of integrated urban services requires the implementation of informative
tools that provide a balance between quality, time and costs for air quality assessment …
