Contribution of urban functional zones to the spatial distribution of urban thermal environment

Building and Environment, 2022
With the accelerated rate of urbanization, reasonable identification of urban functional zones has been increasingly important to urban development. In this study, we used OpenStreetMap and point of interest data combined with the classification standard

Effect of high-rise buildings on the surrounding thermal environment

Building and Environment, 2022
High-rise buildings degrade the thermal environment of their surroundings through wind turbulence, cooling, and excessive heating. This study identifies the role and relationship of geometric (form, orientation, dimension) and material (type, volume ...

Wave propagation analysis of a ceramic-metal functionally graded sandwich plate with different porosity distributions in a hygro-thermal environment

, 2021
Wave propagation analysis of porous functionally graded (FG) sandwich plate in a hygro-thermal environment is presented in this paper. The sandwich plates’ composing materials change through three layers that are either homogeneous ceramic, homogeneous ...

A clustering review of vegetation-indicating parameters in urban thermal environment studies towards various factors.

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2022
People in outdoor areas suffer from more heat stress than indoors during warm seasons due to the lack of shelters or cooling facilities. This problem is pressing with urban heat island and continuous global warming.

Effect of heat mitigation strategies on thermal environment, thermal comfort, and walkability: A case study in Hong Kong

, 2021
The effects of six heat mitigation strategies on thermal environment, thermal comfort, and walkability are evaluated. Thermal environment is simulated using a micro-scale computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model—ENVI-met.

A review on the significance and perspective of the numerical simulations of outdoor thermal environment

, 2021
Computer simulation programs have been used since 2006 for analyzing outdoor human thermal environments. This study reviewed 130 peer-reviewed papers published during 2006–2019, which investigated outdoor thermal comfort using computer simulations.
