Transport processes in and above two-dimensional urban street canyons under different stratification conditions: results from numerical simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thermal stratification on the transport of momentum, heat, and pollutants in the 2D urban street canyons in the skimming flow regime is discussed.

Transport processes in and above two-dimensional urban street canyons under different stratification conditions: results from numerical simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of thermal stratification on the transport of momentum, heat, and pollutants in the 2D urban street canyons in the skimming flow regime is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ground level extent of a negatively buoyant plume in a turbulent boundary layer
TL;DR: In this paper, experiments were conducted in a water flume to measure the extent of a negatively buoyant plume issuing from a continuous, area source under a turbulent boundary layer.
Journal ArticleDOI
On flame propagation along vortex tubes
R.Z. Atobiloye,Rex Britter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of vortical structures on a two-density fluid indicate a possible motion of the light fluid into the heavy one and vice versa, and the results provide an insight into the fast burning observed along vortex tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A modelling-mapping approach for fine-scale assessment of pedestrian-level wind in high-density cities
TL;DR: This study describes the balance between the momentum transfer and drag force in both an averaged sense over an area and a moving air particle to extend conventional frontal area density to a point-specific index (λf_point) and develops an approach to model the pedestrian-level wind speed at high spatial resolution within urban areas.
