Validation of CFD simulations of wind-driven rain on a low-rise building facade
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a detailed validation study for a low-rise building of complex geometry, supported by a recently published, high-resolution full-scale wind, rain and WDR measurement dataset.

TL;DR: In this article, vegetation is modelled as a porous medium in a computational fluid dynamics model for flow of moist air, where a leaf energy balance model is used to determine the heat fluxes.

Water Adsorption in Wood Microfibril-Hemicellulose System: Role of the Crystalline-Amorphous Interface.
TL;DR: A two-phase model of a wood microfibril consisting of crystalline cellulose and amorphous hemicellulose is investigated with molecular dynamics in full range of sorption to understand the molecular origin of swelling and weakening of wood.

Influence of morphologies on the microclimate in urban neighbourhoods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the influence of different urban building morphologies on the urban microclimate and find that building facade surface temperatures are mainly influenced by the distance between buildings.
