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 …

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 …

Building location and orientation with respect to incident wind angle are important
parameters in determining wind-driven natural ventilation. Experimentally measured façade …

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 …

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 …

Simulation of urban airflow and ventilation potential is desirable for building design,
however the complex and transient nature of flows in urban environments makes this a …

Good representation of turbulence in urban canopy models is necessary for accurate
prediction of momentum and scalar distribution in and above urban canopies. To develop …

Using analyses of data from extant direct numerical simulations and large-eddy simulations
of boundary-layer and channel flows over and within urban-type canopies, sectional drag …

This study examines the statistical predictability of local wind conditions in a real urban
environment under realistic atmospheric boundary layer conditions by means of Large-Eddy …

Large-eddy simulations of nine idealized heterogeneous urban morphologies with identical
building density and frontal area index are used to explore the impact of heterogeneity on …
