Global urbanization has underscored the significance of urban microclimates for human
comfort, health, and building/urban energy efficiency. However, analyzing urban …

Urban microclimate analysis is often associated with computational fluid dynamics
simulations of urban aerodynamics and thermal conditions, air quality, heat island, humidity …

Urban climate models can predict the environmental impacts of urban development by
simulating the exchange processes between the atmosphere and urban surfaces. A …

Abstract Inverse Dispersion Modelling (IDM) establishes a relationship between an air
pollutant concentration downstream of a source and the strength of an emission source by …

A key difficulty in air pollution dispersion modeling and quantifying fugitive emission fluxes of
pollutants from open-pit mines is that the meteorological fields for such complex terrains …

Amplitude modulation (AM) quantifies the top-down interactions between the large-scale
motions (LSMs) in the outer layer and the near-ground turbulence structures. They are …

Quantification of the terms in the transport equations of turbulence kinetic energy k and heat
in the real urban roughness sublayer is inherently difficult due to variation of terms with …

We examine the effectiveness of the Transient Wind Forcing (TWF), previously validated with
field and wind tunnel experiments, using LES in large-scale and small-scale cyclic domains …

The objective of the present study is to analyze the influence of various inflow turbulence
generation techniques (ITGT) on the flow field and pollutant dispersion around a street …

Measurement of thermal comfort in the indoor environment enables making adjustments to
building design and operations to improve building performance. Methods of measurement …
