A WRF-UCM-SOLWEIG framework of 10m resolution to quantify the intra-day impact of urban features on thermal comfort
Xiaotian Ding, Yongling Zhao, Yifan Fan +2
City-scale outdoor thermal comfort diagnostics are essential for understanding actual heat stress. However, previous research primarily focused on the street scale. Here, we presen…
Using Clustering to Understand Intra-city Warming in Heatwaves: Insights into Paris, Montreal, and Zurich
Yongling Zhao, Dominik Strebel, Dominique Derome +3
We introduce a novel methodological advancement by clustering paired near-surface air temperature with the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) to characterize intra-city cluster…
Universal scaling of nanoparticle deposition by colloidal droplet drying
Feifei Qin, Linlin Fei, Jianlin Zhao +4
We present a comprehensive study of nanoparticle deposition from drying of colloidal droplets. By means of lattice Boltzmann modeling and theoretical analysis, various deposition p…
Time-evolving Impact of Trees on Street Canyon Microclimate
Haiwei Li, Yongling Zhao, Ronita Bardhan +3
Nowadays, cities are frequently exposed to heatwaves, worsening the outdoor thermal comfort and increasing cooling energy demand in summer. Urban forestry is seen as one of the via…
Aligning Three-Decade Surge in Urban Cooling with Global Warming
Haiwei Li, Yongling Zhao, Ronita Bardhan +5
Rising demand for space cooling has been placing enormous strain on various technological, environmental, and societal dimensions, resulting in issues related to energy consumption…
Droplet impact of Newtonian fluids and blood on simple fabrics: effect of fabric pore size and underlying substrate
T. C. de Goede, A. M. Moqaddam, K. C. M. Limpens +5
When a droplet impacts a fabric mesh at a sufficiently high impact velocity, it not only spreads over the fabric but also penetrate its pores. To determine the influence of this li…
Unveiling dynamic changes in the diurnal microclimate of a Buxus sempervirens with non-intrusive imaging of flow field, leaf temperature, and plant microstructure
Lento Manickathan, Thijs Defraeye, Stephan Carl +4
Plant response is not only dependent on the atmospheric evaporative demand due to the combined effects of wind speed, air temperature, humidity, and solar radiation, but is also de…
Sprays from droplets impacting a mesh
Stefan Kooij, Ali Mazloomi Moqaddam, Thijs C. de Goede +4
In liquid spray applications, the sprays are often created by the formation and destabilization of a liquid sheet or jet. The disadvantage of such atomization processes is that the…
The role of water in the behavior of wood
Dominique Derome, Ahmad Rafsanjani, Stefan Hering +7
Wood, due to its biological origin, has the capacity to interact with water. Sorption/desorption of moisture is accompanied with swelling/shrinkage and softening/hardening of its s…
Computational up-scaling of anisotropic swelling and mechanical behavior of hierarchical cellular material
Ahmad Rafsanjani, Dominique Derome, Falk K. Wittel +1
The hygro-mechanical behavior of a hierarchical cellular material, i.e. growth rings of softwood is investigated using a two-scale micro-mechanics model based on a computational ho…
Metastability limit for the nucleation of NaCl crystals in confinement
Julie Desarnaud, Hannelore Derluyn, Jan Carmeliet +2
We study the spontaneous nucleation and growth of sodium chloride crystals induced by controlled evaporation in confined geometries (microcapillaries) spanning several orders of ma…
