High pollution levels have been often observed in urban street canyons due to the increased
traffic emissions and reduced natural ventilation. Microscale dispersion models with different …

Reducing exposure to atmospheric nanoparticles in urban areas is important for protecting
public health. Developing new or improving the capabilities of existing dispersion models …

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 …

This work analyses the link between the aspect ratio of a vertical-axis straight-bladed (H-
Rotor) wind turbine and its performance (power coefficient). The aspect ratio of this particular …

Urban vegetation can be viewed as compensation to the environmental drawbacks of
urbanisation. However, its ecosystem function is not well-known and, for urban planning …

With rapid development in computer hardware and numerical algorithms, computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques are widely utilized to study the wind field and pollutant …

Flow field and concentration measurements have been performed in an idealized model of
an urban street canyon with one row of trees arranged along the center axis. The model was …

Wind-tunnel studies of dispersion processes of traffic exhaust in urban street canyons with
tree planting were performed and tracer gas concentrations using electron capture detection …

A two-dimensional numerical model based on Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations
coupled with a series of standard, Renormalization Group (RNG) and realizable k–ε …

Recent studies indicate the necessity of addressing traffic-related air pollution in urban
environments, as street canyons are known for their lack of natural ventilation and increased …
