The absence of vegetation in urban areas contributes to the establishment of the urban heat
island, markedly increasing thermal stress for residents, driving morbidity and mortality …

Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) undeniably has the potential to provide more accurate
and more reliable results than simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes …

Continuous urbanization and future climate change will bring serious urban heat island
effects (UHIs) in cities, resulting in more intensive urban heat risks. It has attracted more …

Trees serve as a valuable asset in the urban built environment. In an arid city like Phoenix,
trees are one of the primary urban green infrastructures to ameliorate extreme heat stress …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) is a widely recognised phenomenon that
profoundly affects the quality of life for urban citizens. Urban greenspace can help mitigate …

The expansion of urbanization leads to increases in urban populations and manmade
constructions. Likewise, problems like changing local climates negatively affect urban heat …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a widespread phenomenon because of increased
urbanization, making the urban thermal environment less comfortable. The UHI effect may …

Trees provide shade, absorb and reflect solar radiation, and regulate air temperature and
humidity through transpiration. Integrating these regulatory mechanisms into numerical …

Urban parks alter regional microclimates and considerably mitigate the urban thermal
environment. However, studies on the coupled cooling effects of parks and surrounding …
