Wind energy continues to stand out as a more established and mature technology to offset a
large proportion of power. Efforts aimed at improving wind energy use to meet the energy …

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 …

In order to control and manage urban air quality, public authorities require an integrated
approach that incorporates direct measurements and modelling of mean pollutant …

Operational models for pollutant dispersion in urban areas require an estimate of the
turbulent transfer between the street canyons and the overlying atmospheric flow. To date …

The scalar dispersion of a ground-level point-source plume in a smooth-wall turbulent
boundary layer is experimentally investigated using simultaneous particle image velocimetry …

The turbulent dispersion of a passive tracer emitted by a line source simulating vehicular
traffic in an idealized urban canyon in neutral conditions is studied in the water channel by …

The turbulent exchange of momentum between a two-dimensional cavity and the overlying
boundary layer has been studied experimentally, using hot-wire anemometry and particle …

As the use of emergency generators for buildings increases, the near-field dispersion of high-
temperature and high-buoyancy exhaust gas is becoming a concern. We conducted …

This study compared dispersion calculations using a street network model (SIRANE) with
results from wind tunnel experiments in order to examine model performance in simulating …

We investigate the dispersion of a passive scalar within an idealised urban district made up
of a building-like obstacle array. We focus on a street network in which the lateral dimension …
