Near-field pollutant dispersion in the urban environment involves the interaction of a plume
and the flow field perturbed by building obstacles. In the past two decades, micro-scale …

The increasing interest among architects and planners in designing environmentally friendly
buildings has led to a desire to explore and integrate renewable sources of energy. Roof …

Improper natural ventilation practices may deteriorate indoor air quality when in close
proximity to roadways, although the intention is often to reduce energy consumption. In this …

Data-driven methods for improving turbulence modeling in Reynolds-Averaged Navier–
Stokes (RANS) simulations have gained significant interest in the computational fluid …

In this study, a series of large-eddy simulations are conducted to explore the dynamics of
turbulence within the urban canopy. Two idealized urban-like geometries (staggered and …

The turbulent boundary layer approaching a wall-mounted obstacle experiences a strong
adverse pressure gradient and undergoes three-dimensional separation leading to the …

An efficient self-adaptive strategy for the explicit time integration of Navier-Stokes equations
is presented. Unlike the conventional explicit integration schemes, it is not based on a …

The flow around surface-mounted, finite-height square prisms at a Reynolds number of Re=
4.2× 10 4 was investigated experimentally in a low-speed wind tunnel using particle image …

An approach for dealing with turbulent flows over a surface-mounted cube using the wall y+
as guidance in selecting the appropriate grid configuration and corresponding turbulence …

Flume experiments were conducted to investigate the three‐dimensional flow structure and
turbulent flow mechanisms around a nonsubmerged, sidewall‐attached rectangular spur …
