Four typical urban surroundings were modelled, ranging from high-rise structures to low buildings and combinations thereof. These building systems were exposed to typical summer and winter climatic scenarios for latitudes 10, 34, and 50 N. Systematic variations of interior building temperatures were

A model experiment has been carried out in order to examine the effect of surface irregularity of an urban structure on the anomalous absorption of incident solar radiation. Several models of an urban structure resembling buildings and canyons were constructed by using concrete blocks in cubic form.
In various attempts to relate the behaviour of highly-elastic liquids in complex flows to their rheometrical behaviour, obvious candidates for study have been the variation of shear viscosity with shear rate, the two normal stress differences N 1 and N 2 , especially N 1 , the extensional viscosity,
The form of the wind profile is of concern in many problems involving exchange and diffusion in the canopy formed by vegetation. Yet, we have little quantitative information on the relationship between the wind profile and properties of the foliage because of practical difficulties in modifying exis
