A comparison of results from scaled field and wind tunnel modelling of dispersion in arrays of obstacles
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of plume dispersion around urban buildings has been investigated by physical modeling using arrays of building-like obstacles at two scales (1/100 and 1/10) in a boundary layer wind tunnel and at a field site.

Semi-empirical models as a combination of wind tunnel and numerical dispersion modelling
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical model for point sources and releases of neutral density is described, which includes influences of the building arrangement on the dispersion like the lateral shift of a dispersion plume.

Urban Climates and Urban Climate Modelling: An Introduction
Erich J. Plate
- 01 Jan 1995
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of flow over uniformly rough boundaries, with special applications to urban areas, is given, and two different types of boundary layer flows typical for different meteorological situations, and with different applications in urban wind studies.

Effects of inhomogeneous ground-level pollutant sources under different wind directions.
Huanhuan Wang,Keith Ngan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of source inhomogeneity on pollutant dispersion from a cubic building array are investigated as a function of the external wind direction using building-resolving large-eddy simulation, and the results depend strongly on the source location and source uniformity inside a near-field region defined by a radius of homogenisation (RAD) based on the spatial autocorrelation of the pollutant concentration.

Wind loads in urban areas
Erich J. Plate,Harald Kiefer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss wind loads L as random variables, with particular consideration given to urban areas, where wind forces and diffusion are considered for wind normal to the front of bluff bodies, for the three dimensional case of cubical buildings in urban complexes, and for the two-dimensional case of street canyons.

A Wind Tunnel Study of Gaseous Pollutants in City Street Canyons
TL;DR: In this article, tracer gas was measured in a 400:1 scale model of an idealized city with variable geometry placed within a wind tunnel at various orientations to the mean flow for a free stream velocity of 68 ft/sec.

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Atmospheric Boundary Layers
Erich J. Plate
- 01 Jun 1971
TL;DR: In this article, the Aerodynamic Characteristics of Atmospheric Boundary Layers (ABCL) are discussed. But they do not discuss the physical properties of the boundary layers themselves.
