Cities are particularly vulnerable to meteorological hazards because of the concentration of
population, goods, capital stock and infrastructure. Urban climate services require multi …

A thermally comfortable design of outdoor spaces favors social interaction and outdoor
activities and thus contributes to the overall well-being of urban dwellers. To assess such a …

Abstract uDALES is an open-source multi-physics microscale urban modelling tool, capable
of performing large-eddy simulation (LES) of urban airflow, heat transfer, and pollutant …

In this article we outline the model development planned within the joint project Model-
based city planning and application in climate change (MOSAIK). The MOSAIK project is …

Although trees are numerous in urban areas, their dynamic effects on the wind flow are
usually approximated or neglected altogether in many wind engineering studies, especially …

Managing urban air systems is now on top priority. The local wind flow at the building scale
is governed by the urban morphology, which is difficult to be captured by the …

This study assesses the impacts of sustainable urban development adapted to climate
change in the city of Stuttgart, Germany. We use the state-of-the-art meteorological …

Trees play an important role in the urban heat island effect and urban air quality due to their
impact on the transfer of radiation, momentum, heat, moisture and pollution. However, the …

Urban canopy models simplify urban morphology and physical processes such as radiative
transfer to calculate the urban surface energy balance as a lower boundary condition for …

The rapid growth of urbanization significantly influences local atmospheric conditions and
life quality of residents living in urban areas by creating a localized phenomenon known as …
