Abstract Purpose of Review Unprecedented urbanization in Asia affects the net radiation
and energy flux of urban areas in the form of urban heat islands (UHI). The application of …

Modeling, validating, and simulating are three essential parts in investigating the heat
mitigation benefits of urban trees (BUT). Therefore, 81 relevant studies from the last ten …

Better prediction of turbulent airflow around urban trees is necessary because it impacts
urban pollutant dispersion, outdoor thermal comfort, energy efficiency, pedestrian-level …

Tree dynamics have been extensively studied because of their reconfiguration ability under
oncoming wind flow. However, there is still a gap in the effect of crown configuration on the …

Green urbanism has stimulated more research on the aerodynamics of tree in recent years.
The insight gained in studying wind load on trees would mitigate risk of tree falling and …

Wind is a significant natural disturbance factor affecting many forested regions globally, with
tree stability during storms being a critical issue in urban forested areas. Urban forests …

Wind flow and wind force on individual trees in urban park has been simulated numerically
by using computational fluid dynamic tree model. In this study trees are simplified into a …

The physical effects of upstream flow obstructions such as vegetation on cross-ventilation
phenomena of a building have rarely been investigated in the literature. Moreover, there is a …
