The correct prediction of air pollutants dispersed in urban areas is of paramount importance
to safety, public health and a sustainable environment. Vehicular traffic is one of the main …

The cabins of passenger aircraft experience one of the most complex indoor environments
among all other means of mass public transportation. Given the large number of passengers …

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

Despite building energy use being one of the largest global energy consumers, building
energy simulations rarely take the actual local neighbourhood scale climate into account. A …

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

The Reynolds number for flow in a street canyon, Re= U ref H/ν (where U ref is a reference
velocity, H the street canyon height, and ν the kinematic viscosity), cannot be matched …

Reduced-scale experiments and full-scale field measurements show contradictory buoyancy
effects from heated windward walls. Reduced-scale experiments exhibit significant thermal …
