Numerical Study of Urban Canyon Microclimate Related to Geometrical Parameters [PDF]
Sustainability, 2014 In this study a microclimate analysis on a particular urban configuration: the—street canyon—has been carried out. The analysis, conducted by performing numerical simulations using the finite volumes commercial code ANSYS-Fluent, shows the flow field in an urban environment, taking into account three different aspect ratios (H/W). This analysis can be
