Effect of local and upwind stratification on flow and dispersion inside and above a bi-dimensional street canyon
Davide Marucci, Matteo Carpentieri
The effects of a stably-stratified boundary layer on flow and dispersion in a bi-dimensional street canyon have been investigated experimentally in a wind tunnel in combination wit…
Stable and convective boundary-layer flows in an urban array
Davide Marucci, Matteo Carpentieri
In this paper non-neutral approaching flows were employed in a meteorological wind tunnel on a regular urban-like array of rectangular buildings. As far as stable stratification is…
Dispersion in an array of buildings in stable and convective atmospheric conditions
Davide Marucci, Matteo Carpentieri
Wind tunnel experiments were conducted to study the impact of atmospheric stratification on flow and dispersion within and over a regular array of rectangular buildings. Three stab…
Fluid Tunnel Research for Challenges of Urban Climate
Yongling Zhao, Lup Wai Chew, Yifan Fan +13
Experimental investigations using wind and water tunnels have long been a staple of fluid mechanics research for a large number of applications. These experiments often single out…
Urban boundary layers over dense and tall canopies
Alexandros Makedonas, Matteo Carpentieri, Marco Placidi
Wind tunnel experiments were carried out on four urban morphologies: two tall canopies with uniform-height and two super-tall canopies with a large variation in element heights (wh…
