Street aspect ratios and urban thermal storage largely determine the thermal environment in
cities. By performing scaled outdoor measurements in summer of 2017 in Guangzhou …

One of the major obstacles to using numerical weather prediction models for guidance on
mitigating urbanization's impact on local and regional climate is the lack of detailed and …

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 …

Large eddy simulation (LES) is widely used to investigate the aerodynamics and convective
heat transfer (CHT) at the surfaces of sharp-edged bluff bodies for a wide range of Reynolds …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) are used to gain insight into the effects of trees on turbulence,
aerodynamic parameters, and momentum transfer rates characterizing the atmosphere …

Wind energy harvester utilizing flow-induced vibration (FIV-WEH) has attracted much
attention because of its ability to capture low-speed wind energy. This study is motivated to …

Considering the influence of natural solar heating, this paper numerically evaluated the
sustainability of various urban street layouts from three different views: the pedestrian-level …

Atmospheric stability can significantly influence the spreading of wind-turbine wakes. The
previous studies often coupled atmospheric stability with the turbulence intensity and …

Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are being reconsidered as a complementary technology
to the more widely used horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to their unique suitability …

Mobile laboratory measurements provide information on the distribution of CH 4 emissions
from point sources such as oil and gas wells, but uncertainties are poorly constrained or …
