Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models have been used for the simulation of urban
airflow and pollutant dispersion, due to their capability to capture different length scales and …

This paper describes progress made in the scale modeling of urban climate. The studies
reviewed are mainly indoor and outdoor experiments that use an array of urban-like flow …

The quality of life of millions of people living in cities could be improved if the form of the city
were to evolve in a manner appropriate to its climatic context. Climatically responsive urban …

In the last two decades substantial advances have been made in the understanding of the
scientific basis of urban climates. These are reviewed here with attention to sustainability of …

Convective heat transfer at exterior building surfaces has an impact on the design and
performance of building components such as double-skin facades, solar collectors, solar …

New developments of the international community in modeling the urban canopy surface
energy balance are presented and classified into five main categories:(i) models statistically …

Modeling the Surface Energy Balance of the Core of an Old Mediterranean City: Marseille in:

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 …

A simple urban energy balance model for mesoscale simulations (SUMM) was tested using
results from an outdoor scale-model experiment. The model geometry is assumed to be an …

This study extends a large eddy simulation model used to simulate turbulent flow in an
urban street canyon to the dispersion and transport of reactive pollutants (NO, NO2 and O3) …
