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…
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…
Transition of the thermal boundary layer and plume over an isothermal section-triangular roof: An experimental study
Haoyu Zhai, Juan F. Torres, Yongling Zhao +1
The development of thermal boundary layers and plume near a section-triangular roof under different isothermal heating conditions have been the focus of numerous numerical studies.…
Impact of street canyon morphology on heat and fluid flow-an experimental water tunnel study using simultaneous PIV-LIF technique
Yunpeng Xue, Yongling Zhao, Shuo-Jun Mei +2
Urban areas are known for their complex atmospheric environments, with the building morphology having a significant impact on local climate patterns, air quality, and overall urban…
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…
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…
The time-evolving impact of tree size on nighttime street canyon microclimate: Wind tunnel modeling of aerodynamic effects and heat removal
Yongling Zhao, Haiwei Li, Ronita Bardhan +3
Urban trees play a crucial role in urban climate in many aspects. However, existing research has not adequately explored the impact from a time-evolving perspective, that is, tree…
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…
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…
