Increasing urbanization and population growth have brought attention to urban
microclimates in recent years. The study on urban microclimate and its impact on the built …

The paper reviews the evolution of computational wind engineering from environmental and
structural perspectives, since the inaugural conference of computational wind engineering …

Urban street canyon flows play a central role in microclimate control, from street canyon to
neighbourhood and city scale, which affect pollutant dispersion, thermal comfort of residents …

Many studies have simplified the thermal buoyancy in urban areas as a uniform surface
heating effect. However, a realistic scenario under solar shading conditions corresponds to …

Urban tree planting has the potential to reduce urban heat island intensity and building
energy consumption. However, the heterogeneity of cities makes it difficult to quantitatively …

The evaluation of buoyancy effect on urban ventilation, especially on low wind conditions, is
important for the extreme urban heat islands to improve urban climate resilience. To provide …

Cities are facing significant challenges due to low outdoor air quality. Hence, a growing
number of studies have been conducted to develop strategies for improving air quality. This …

Validated by wind tunnel data, this study numerically investigates the integrated impacts of
wind and thermal buoyancy on urban turbulence, ventilation and pollutant dispersion in full …

Solar chimneys (SC) are passive ventilation devices which can induce natural ventilation by
utilizing solar radiation. Many studies of SCs have focused on single-storey or low-rise …

This work develops a data analysis procedure, namely, proper orthogonal decomposition
(POD)-dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) augmented analysis, to isolate the energy-and …
