Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) undeniably has the potential to provide more accurate
and more reliable results than simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes …

In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

Accurate and reliable computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are essential for the
assessment of cross-ventilation of buildings. To determine which CFD models are most …

Near-field pollutant dispersion in the urban environment involves the interaction of a plume
and the flow field perturbed by building obstacles. In the past two decades, micro-scale …

Wind comfort and wind safety for pedestrians are important requirements in urban areas.
Many city authorities request studies of pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety for new …

The paper reviews the evolution of computational wind engineering from environmental and
