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 …

Pollutant dispersion by a tall-building cluster within a low-rise neighbourhood of Beijing is
investigated using both full-scale Large-Eddy Simulation and water flume experiments at 1 …

We conducted large‐eddy simulations over 98 urban arrays with varying building densities
and height distributions. Compared with uniform‐height urban arrays, the influence of height …

Block typology is a central component for urban planning and a key element to represent the
urban form, which affects the airflow. Therefore, the aim of this work consists of investigating …

Air pollution in cities, intensified by vehicular traffic emissions and reduced ventilation, poses
a significant health risk. Obstacles, like solid or vegetation barriers, are being considered as …

Urban morphology affects airflow, causing pollutant accumulation within the urban canopy.
Urban planning can regulate urban form by applying such strategies as defining urban block …

The presence of tall buildings in cities affects momentum and scalar exchange within and
above the urban canopy. As wake effects can be important over large distances, they are …

Rapid urbanisation and rising vehicular emissions aggravate urban air pollution. Outdoor
pollutants could diffuse indoors through infiltration or ventilation, leading to residents' …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of atmospheric flows has become an increasingly
popular modelling approach within the last years, as it has the potential to provide deeper …

Although most people live in cities, the pollutant transport in so-called street canyons is still
not well understood. The main reason is the complexity of the problem, where the roof …
