The paper reviews the evolution of computational wind engineering from environmental and
structural perspectives, since the inaugural conference of computational wind engineering …

Air pollutants emitted from vehicles in street canyons may be reactive, undergoing mixing
and chemical processing before escaping into the overlying atmosphere. The deterioration …

In high-density megacities, air pollution has a higher impact on public health than cities of
lower population density. Apart from higher pollution emissions due to human activities in …

This paper deals with aerodynamic effects of avenue-like tree planting on flow and traffic-
originated pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons by means of wind tunnel experiments …

Background The built environment may influence health in part through the promotion of
physical activity and exposure to pollution. To date, no studies have explored interactions …

This study summarizes the effects of avenues of trees in urban street canyons on traffic
pollutant dispersion. We describe various wind-tunnel experiments with different tree …

Based on the OpenFOAM environment, a new CFD code named as APFoam coupling
turbulence with the complex photochemical mechanism of NO xO 3-VOCs reactions has …

Building roof greening is a successful strategy for improving urban thermal environment. It is
of theoretical interest and practical importance to study the effects of building roof greening …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) with our recently developed inflow approach (Xie, Z.-T.,
Castro, IP, 2008a. Efficient generation of inflow conditions for large-eddy simulation of street …

We employ computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with NO-NO 2-O 3 chemistry to
investigate the impacts of aspect ratios (H/W= 1, 3, 5), elevated-building design, wind …
