Cold stress mitigation by urban trees
CFD–radiation coupled model evaluates winter tree effects on UTCI in Daegu. • Wind speed dominates UTCI (R≈−0.97); air temperature and MRT are secondary. • Tall evergreens ease cold stress in wind-exposed corridors, esp. morning and night. • In sheltered zones, evergreen shading lowers MRT and worsens afternoon cold stress. • Deciduous or low trees fit sheltered areas; evergreens suit windy sites. Extreme cold surges, increasingly observed in mid…
How to plant trees on an elevated road to improve thermal comfort in a street canyon
Investigated the effects of trees on elevated roads on airflow and thermal comfort. • Implemented a tree-induced cooling parameterization in the CFD model. • Elevated roads significantly affect airflow and temperature in street canyons. • Trees on elevated roads improve thermal comfort through cooling and shading. • Trees over 6 m in height are recommended for improving UTCI. This study investigates the impact of trees planted on an elevated road…
CFD-quality nowcasting for urban air mobility with a deep learning-based emulator
Urban air mobility (UAM) aircraft typically operate at altitudes of 1000–2000 feet over complex urban terrains, where airflow interactions with structures create dynamic conditions requiring precise, real-time meteorological forecasts. Traditional large-scale forecasting systems often struggle to adequately capture turbulent boundary-layer characteristics due to coarse grid resolutions, while high-resolution computational fluid dynamics (CFD) sim…
Regionally optimized fire parameterizations using feed-forward neural networks
The fire weather index (FWI) is a widely used metric for fire danger based on meteorological observations. However, even though it simulates the nonlinear relationship between the meteorological observations and fire intensity, the ability of the FWI to accurately represent global satellite-derived fire intensity observations is limited due to its empirical formulation based on a specific region. In this study, we propose a regionally-fitted fire…
Effects of Vertical Forests on Air Quality in Step-up Street Canyons
Vertical forests have been constructed as environmentally friendly solutions for air quality and urban heat problems. With an expectation to provide insights into the value of vertical forests, we examined the impact of these structures on flows and distribution of fine particles in step-up street canyons using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The CFD model was rigorously validated against wind-tunnel experiments and accurately simulat…
