Outdoor airflow fields have received increasing attention in the building aerodynamics
community in virtue of the airflow distributions around buildings are closely related to issues …

Urbanization is leading towards the change of local wind climate in the vicinity of tall
buildings, which influences the pedestrian level wind environment to an uncomfortable or …

Precise and timely assessments of the environmental benefits of urban ventilation corridors
are important for understanding urban sustainability. Previous studies have mainly focused …

Tall buildings in hilly terrain are very likely being attacked by topography-induced twisted
wind. In this study, the effects of three wind profiles on second-generation benchmark …

Abstract Purpose of Review The air quality management within urban street canyons can be
improved by enhancing ventilation for dispersion of pollutants. The purpose of this review is …

With the continuous development of global urbanization, the urban heat island effect has
increasingly become one of the important factors that reduces the quality of urban life …

Urban winds can cause a risk to pedestrian safety if not properly assessed. High-rise
buildings produce a complex flow field at ground level, where regions of accelerated and …

Environmental wind conditions at the pedestrian level are strongly influenced by building
shape and orientation. The present study investigates the effect of corner modified buildings …

This paper presents a CFD study on the air ventilation assessment (AVA) in urban topology
with twisted wind profiles (TWP). At present, most AVAs were conducted through wind tunnel …

The present research investigates thermal and aerodynamic effects of urban buildings on
microclimate and, subsequently, on cooling systems performance. To this end, a real …
