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…
Hot spots and flow structures around an isolated cuboid building subjected to surface warming: Large eddy simulations and wind tunnel measurements
Yi Zhao, Ruibin Li, Aytac Kubilay +3
Urban warming is evident in numerous cities. On especially hot days, building surfaces warm up, leading to buoyancy-driven flows adjacent to these surfaces. The dynamics of the flo…
An experimental investigation of the heat and flow features in street canyons: Impacts of the approaching turbulent boundary layer flow
Yunpeng Xue, Yongling Zhao, Shuo-Jun Mei +2
The study of turbulent boundary layer flow holds significant importance in urban climate research, particularly concerning numerical simulation studies where it serves as a crucial…
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…
Critical transitions on route to chaos of natural convection on a heated horizontal circular surface
Yuhan Jiang, Yongling Zhao, Jan Carmeliet +2
The transition route and bifurcations of the buoyant flow developing on a heated circular horizontal surface are elaborated using direct numerical simulations and direct stability…
Understanding the Impact of Heatwave on Urban Heat Island in Greater Sydney: Temporal Surface Energy Budget Change with Land Types
Jing Kong, Yongling Zhao, Dominik Strebel +3
The impact of heatwaves (HWs) on urban heat island (UHI) is a contentious topic with contradictory research findings. A comprehensive understanding of the response of urban and rur…
