CFD simulation of outdoor ventilation of generic urban configurations with different urban densities and equal and unequal street widths
Outdoor ventilation is very important for a healthy and livable urban environment. It is
strongly influenced by wind speed and direction, which in turn are affected by urban …

The urban cool island phenomenon in a high-rise high-density city and its mechanisms
The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon has been studied extensively, but there are
relatively fewer reports on the so-called urban cool island (UCI) phenomenon. We reveal …
