An Improved Three-Dimensional Simulation of the Diurnally Varying Street-Canyon Flow 总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0
The impact of diurnal variations of the heat fluxes from building and ground surfaces on the fluid flow and air temperature distribution in street canyons is numerically investigated using the PArallelized Large-eddy Simulation Model (PALM). Simulations are performed for a 3 by 5 array of buildings with canyon aspect ratio of one for two clear summer days that differ in atmospheric instability. A detailed building energy model with a three-dimensional raster-type geometry—Temperature of Urban Facets Indoor-Outdoor Building Energy Simulator (TUF-IOBES)—provides urban surface heat fluxes as thermal boundary conditions for PALM. In vertical cross-sections at the centre of the spanwise canyon the mechanical forcing and the horizontal streamwise thermal forcing at roof level outweigh the thermal forces from the heated surfaces inside the canyon in defining the general flow pattern throughout the day. This results in a dominant canyon vortex with a persistent speed, centered at a constant height. Compared to neutral simulations, non-uniform heating of the urban canyon surfaces significantly modifies the pressure field and turbulence statistics in street canyons. Strong horizontal pressure gradients were detected in streamwise and spanwise canyons throughout the day, and which motivate larger turbulent velocity fluctuations in the horizontal directions rather than in the vertical direction. Canyon-averaged turbulent kinetic energy in all non-neutral simulations exhibits a diurnal cycle following the insolation on the ground in both spanwise and streamwise canyons, and it is larger when the canopy bottom surface is paved with darker materials and the ground surface temperature is higher as a result. Compared to uniformly distributed thermal forcing on urban surfaces, the present analysis shows that realistic non-uniform thermal forcing can result in complex local airflow patterns, as evident, for example, from the location of the vortices in horizontal planes in the spanwise canyon. This study shows the importance of three-dimensional simulations with detailed thermal boundary conditions to explore the heat and mass transport in an urban area. 相似文献

The transfer processes within and above a simulated urban street canyon were investigated in a generic manner. Computational
fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to aid understanding and to produce some simple operational parameterisations. In this study
we addressed specifically the commonly met situation where buoyancy effects arising from elevated surface temperatures are
not important, i.e. when mechanical forces outweigh buoyancy forces. In a geophysical context this requires that some suitably
defined Richardson number is small. From an engineering perspective this is interpreted as the important case when heat transfer
within and above urban street canyons is by forced convection. Surprisingly, this particular scenario (for which the heat
transfer coefficient between buildings and the flow is largest), has been less well studied than the situation where buoyancy
effects are important. The CFD technique was compared against wind-tunnel experiments to provide model evaluation. The height-to-width
ratio of the canyon was varied through the range 0.5–5 and the flow was normal to the canyon axis. By setting the canyon’s
facets to have the same or different temperatures or to have a partial temperature distribution, simulations were carried
out to investigate: (a) the influence of geometry on the flow and mixing within the canyon and (b) the exchange processes
within the canyon and across the canyon top interface. Results showed that the vortex-type circulation and turbulence developed
within the canyon produced a temperature distribution that was, essentially, spatially uniform (apart from a relatively thin
near-wall thermal boundary layer) This allowed the temperatures within the street canyon to be specified by just one value
T
can
, the canyon temperature. The variation of T
can
with wind speed, surface temperatures and geometry was extensively studied. Finally, the exchange velocity u
E
across the interface between the canyon and the flow above was calculated based on a heat flux balance within the canyon
and between the canyon and the flow above. Results showed that u
E
was approximately 1% of a characteristic wind velocity above the street canyon. The problem of radiative exchange is not
addressed but it can, of course, be introduced analytically, or computationally, when necessary. 相似文献

In order to investigate the microclimatic conditions in a street canyon, a physical model was used to conduct the Joint ATREUS-PICADA
Experiment (JAPEX) in situ experimental campaign. Four lines of buildings simulated by steel containers were installed to
form three parallel street canyons at 1:5 scale, with width/height aspect ratio approximately 0.40. The reference wind and
atmospheric conditions were measured, as well as the flow velocity and direction in the street. Preliminary results concern
street canyon ventilation and thermal effects on in-canyon airflow, and show that vortical motions appear for reference wind
directions perpendicular to the street axis. The presence of adjacent rows of buildings did not appear to significantly influence
the flow character within the canyon for the case of a low aspect ratio corresponding to a skimming flow regime. The flow
structure was not significantly affected by the thermal effects although some slight interference occurred in the lower part
of the canyon. An analysis of horizontal temperature gradients indicated that a thin boundary layer develops near the heated
facade. These facts imply that the thermal effects are considerable only very close to the wall. 相似文献

Instantaneous flow structures “within” a cubical canopy are investigated via large-eddy simulation. The main topics of interest
are, (1) large-scale coherent flow structures within a cubical canopy, (2) how the structures are coupled with the turbulent
organized structures (TOS) above them, and (3) the classification and quantification of representative instantaneous flow
patterns within a street canyon in relation to the coherent structures. We use a large numerical domain (2,560 m × 2,560 m ×
1,710 m) with a fine spatial resolution (2.5 m), thereby simulating a complete daytime atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), as
well as explicitly resolving a regular array of cubes (40 m in height) at the surface. A typical urban ABL is numerically
modelled. In this situation, the constant heat supply from roof and floor surfaces sustains a convective mixed layer as a
whole, but strong wind shear near the canopy top maintains the surface layer nearly neutral. The results reveal large coherent
structures in both the velocity and temperature fields “within” the canopy layer. These structures are much larger than the
cubes, and their shapes and locations are shown to be closely related to the TOS above them. We classify the instantaneous
flow patterns in a cavity, specifically focusing on two characteristic flow patterns: flushing and cavity-eddy events. Flushing
indicates a strong upward motion, while a cavity eddy is characterized by a dominant vortical motion within a single cavity.
Flushing is clearly correlated with the TOS above, occurring frequently beneath low-momentum streaks. The instantaneous momentum
and heat transport within and above a cavity due to flushing and cavity-eddy events are also quantified. 相似文献

Full-scale observations from two urban sites in Basel, Switzerland were analysed to identify the magnitude of different processes
that create, relocate, and dissipate turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in the urban atmosphere. Two towers equipped with a profile
of six ultrasonic anemometers each sampled the flow in the urban roughness sublayer, i.e. from street canyon base up to roughly
2.5 times the mean building height. This observational study suggests a conceptual division of the urban roughness sublayer
into three layers: (1) the layer above the highest roofs, where local buoyancy production and local shear production of TKE
are counterbalanced by local viscous dissipation rate and scaled turbulence statistics are close to to surface-layer values;
(2) the layer around mean building height with a distinct inflexional mean wind profile, a strong shear and wake production
of TKE, a more efficient turbulent exchange of momentum, and a notable export of TKE by transport processes; (3) the lower
street canyon with imported TKE by transport processes and negligible local production. Averaged integral velocity variances
vary significantly with height in the urban roughness sublayer and reflect the driving processes that create or relocate TKE
at a particular height. The observed profiles of the terms of the TKE budget and the velocity variances show many similarities
to observations within and above vegetation canopies. 相似文献

Large-Scale Structures over a Single Street Canyon Immersed in an Urban-Type Boundary Layer 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
An analysis of the dynamics of the flow over a street canyon immersed in an atmospheric boundary layer is presented, using particle image velocimetry measurements in a wind tunnel. Care was taken to generate a 1:200 model scale urban type boundary layer that is correctly scaled to the size of the canyon buildings. Using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the velocity field and conditional averaging techniques, it is first shown that the flow above the opening of the canyon consists of a shear layer separating from the upstream obstacle, animated by a coherent flapping motion and generating large-scale vortical structures. These structures are alternately injected into the canyon or shed off the obstacle into the outer flow. It is shown that unsteady fluid exchanges between the canyon and the outer flow are mainly driven by the shear layer. Finally, using POD, the non-linear interaction between the large-scale structures of the oncoming atmospheric boundary layer and the flow over the canyon is demonstrated. 相似文献

Flow over urban surfaces depends on surface morphology and interaction with the boundary layer above. However, the effect of the flow on scalar fluxes is hard to quantify. The naphthalene sublimation technique was used to quantify scalar vertical fluxes out of a street canyon under neutral conditions. For an array of eight canyons with aspect ratio H/W=0.75 (here, H is building height and W is the street width), increased flux was observed in the first two or three canyons for moderate and low roughness upstream. This is consistent with predictions of the length scale for initial adjustment of flow to an urban canopy. The flux was constant after the initial adjustment region and thus dependent only on local geometry. For a street canyon in the equilibrium part of the array, each facet of the street canyon was coated with naphthalene to simulate scalar release from street, walls and roof, to evaluate the effect of street canyon geometry on fluxes for H/W=0.25, 0.6, 1 and 2. Fluxes from the roof and downstream wall were considerably larger than fluxes from the street and upstream wall, and only the flux from the downstream wall exhibited a simple decrease with H/W. For each H/W there was a monotonic decrease between downstream wall, street and upstream wall transfer. This suggests that flow decelerates around the recirculation region in the lee of the upstream building, i.e. a recirculating jet rather than a symmetrical vortex. The addition of a second source within the street canyon resulted in reduced fluxes from each facet for H/W>0.25, due to increased concentration of naphthalene in the canyon air. 相似文献

Wind and temperature measurements from within and above a deep urban canyon (height/width = 2.1) were used to examine the
thermal structure of air within the canyon, exchange of heat with the overlying atmosphere, and the possible impacts of surface
heating on within-canyon air flow. Measurements were made over a range of seasons and primarily analysed for sunny days. This
allowed the study of temperature differences between opposing canyon walls and between wall and air of more than 15°C in summer.
The wall temperature patterns follow those of incoming solar radiation loading with a secondary daytime effect from the longwave
exchange between the walls. In winter, the canyon walls receive little direct solar radiation, and temperature differences
are largely due to anthropogenic heating of the building interiors. Cool air from aloft and heated air from canyon walls is
shown to circulate within the canyon under cross-canyon flow. Roofs and some portions of walls heat up rapidly on clear days
and have a large influence on heat fluxes and the temperature field. The magnitude and direction of the measured turbulent
heat flux also depend strongly on the direction of flow relative to surface heating. However, these spatial differences are
smoothed by the shear layer at the canyon top. Buoyancy effects from the heated walls were not seen to have as large an impact
on the measured flow field as has been shown in numerical experiments. At night canyon walls are shown to be the source of
positive sensible heat fluxes. The measurements show that materials and their location, as well as geometry, play a role in
regulating the heat exchange between the urban surface and atmosphere. 相似文献

Large-Eddy Simulation of Turbulent Organized Structures within and above Explicitly Resolved Cube Arrays 总被引：2，自引：12，他引：2
Large-eddy simulations have been performed for fully developed turbulent flow within and above explicitly resolved simple cube arrays. The results from our model, hereafter LES-CITY, are shown to agree with laboratory experiments. We investigated the systematic influence of cube density on turbulent flow characteristics by performing numerical experiments for cube areal densities from 0 to 44%. The following results were obtained: (1) The dispersive momentum flux was quite large within the canopy layer due to a mean stream re-circulation, whereas it was smaller above the canopy. The spatial variation of temporally averaged momentum in the roughness sub-layer was 20% or less of the total kinematic surface drag. (2) The temporally and spatially-averaged flow structure confirmed the existence of conventionally described canyon flow regimes; isolated, interfacial, and wake. However, the intermittency of the canyon flow for all cube densities was quite large and the stream patterns were never persistent. (3) Turbulent organized structures (TOS) similar to those observed in turbulent surface-layer flows were simulated, which are characterized by longitudinally-elongated low speed streaks and the corresponding shorter streamwise vortices. The streaks in sparse and dense canopy flows were likely to be aligned to the street line and to the roof lines, respectively. Such heterogeneity of TOS partially accounts for the large spatial variation of momentum flux. (4) In contrast to the mixing layer analogy of vegetation flows, the TOS and the resulting turbulent statistics of urban flow above the canopy resembled those in surface layers. The recirculation within the canopy significantly influenced the turbulent statistical properties. 相似文献

We experimentally investigate the effect of a typical building covering: the gable roof, on the flow and air exchange in urban canyons. In general, the morphology of the urban canopy is very varied and complex, depending on a large number of factors, such as building arrangement, or the morphology of the terrain. Therefore we focus on a simple, prototypal shape, the two-dimensional canyon, with the aim of elucidating some fundamental phenomena driving the street-canyon ventilation. Experiments are performed in a water channel, over an array of identical prismatic obstacles representing an idealized urban canopy. The aspect ratio, i.e. canyon-width to building-height ratio, ranges from 1 to 6. Gable roof buildings with 1:1 pitch are compared with flat roofed buildings. Velocity is measured using a particle-image-velocimetry technique with flow dynamics discussed in terms of mean flow and second- and third-order statistical moments of the velocity. The ventilation is interpreted by means of a simple well-mixed box model and the outflow rate and mean residence time are computed. Results show that gable roofs tend to delay the transition from the skimming-flow to the wake-interference regime and promote the development of a deeper and more turbulent roughness layer. The presence of a gable roof significantly increases the momentum flux, especially for high packing density. The air exchange is improved compared to the flat roof buildings, and the beneficial effect is more significant for narrow canyons. Accordingly, for unit aspect ratio gable roofs reduce the mean residence time by a factor of 0.37 compared to flat roofs, whereas the decrease is only by a factor of 0.9 at the largest aspect ratio. Data analysis indicates that, for flat roof buildings, the mean residence time increases by 30% when the aspect ratio is decreased from 6 to 2, whereas this parameter is only weakly dependent on aspect ratio in the case of gable roofs. 相似文献

A numerical model which simulates the dispersion of passive scalars within an urban canyon is proposed and some initial verification of the model undertaken. It is then used to investigate three-dimensional characteristics of the concentration field established for flow perpendicular to canyons with emissions released near the floor of the canyon by motor vehicles. In particular, the influence of canyon geometry on the concentration field is studied and some general observations made concerning the location of maximum concentrations. 相似文献

Water tank experiments are carried out to investigate the convection flow induced by bottom heating and the effects of the ambient wind on the flow in non-symmetrical urban street canyons based on the PIV (Particle Image Visualization) technique. Fluid experiments show that with calm ambient wind,the flows in the street canyon are completely driven by thermal force, and the convection can reach the upper atmosphere of the street canyon. Horizontal and vertical motions also appear above the roofs of the buildings. These are the conditions which favor the exchange of momentum and air mass between the street canyon and its environment. More than two vortices are induced by the convection, and the complex circulation pattern will vary with time in a wider street canyon. However， in a narrow street canyon， just one vortex appears. With a light ambient wind, the bottom heating and the associated convection result in just one main vortex. As the ambient wind speed increases, the vortex becomes more organized and its center shifts closer to the leeward building. 相似文献

Effect of Incoming Turbulent Structure on Pollutant Removal from Two-Dimensional Street Canyon 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Large-eddy simulations are conducted to investigate the effects of the incoming turbulent structure of the flow on pollutant removal from an ideal canyon. The target canyon is a two-dimensional street canyon with an aspect ratio of 1.0 (building height to street width). Three turbulent flows upwind of the street canyon are generated by using different block configurations, and a tracer gas is released as a ground-level line source at the centre of the canyon floor. Mean velocity profiles for the three flows are similar, except near the roof. However, the root-mean-square values of the velocity fluctuations and the Reynolds shear stress increase with the friction velocity of the incoming turbulent flow. The spatially-averaged concentration within the canyon decreases with increasing friction velocity. Coherent structures of low-momentum fluid, generated above the upwind block configurations, contribute to pollutant removal, and the amount of pollutant removal is directly related to the size of the coherent structure. 相似文献

Large-eddy simulations were conducted to investigate the mechanism of pollutant removal from a three-dimensional street canyon. Five block configurations with aspect ratios (building height to length) of 1, 2, 4, 8 and $\infty $ were used to create an urban-like array. A pollutant was released from a ground-level line source at the centre of the target canyon floor. For smaller aspect ratios, the relative contribution of the turbulent mass flux to net mass flux at the roof level, which was spatially averaged along the roof-level ventilation area, was closer to unity, indicating that turbulent motions mainly affected pollutant removal from the top of the canyon. As aspect ratio increased, the relative contribution became smaller, owing to strong upwind motions. However, the relative contribution again reached near unity for the infinite aspect ratio (i.e. a two-dimensional street canyon) because of lowered lateral flow convergence. At least 75 % of total emissions from the three-dimensional street canyon were attributable to turbulent motions. Pollutant removal by turbulent motions was related to the coherent structures of low-momentum fluid above the canyons. Though the coherent structure size of the low-momentum fluid differed, the positions of low-momentum fluid largely corresponded to instantaneous high concentrations of pollutant above the target canyon, irrespective of canyon geometry. 相似文献

The role of radiative-convective interaction in creating the microclimate of urban street canyons 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：2
Hanna Swaid 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1993,64(3):231-259
An approximate sky view factor (SVF) has been developed, which is capable of estimating the mean rate of net longwave radiant energy loss from urban street canyons. Reduced scale models of typical canyon geometries were used in outdoor tests to verify the predictions of radiant fluxes obtained using the proposed SVF. Air-surface temperature differences from the scale models are used together with hypothesized within-canyon airflow patterns to determine some quantitative characteristics of the wind field in canyons. Simple correlations are proposed for the relationship between mean in-canyon and pedestrian-level flow speeds on the one hand, and the ambient (above roof-level) wind speed on the other hand. As expected, the height/width ratio of a canyon controls the form and magnitude of the flow within. 相似文献

In this paper, the influences of orography on the boundary layer flow with the approximation of geostrophic momentum are studied. The wind velocity at the lower boundary will not always be zero when the orography exists. So the structure of the boundary layer flow, as well as the vertical velocity at the top of the boundary layer, is affected. There are three factors affecting the vertical motion at the top of the boundary layer: lifting due to orography; divergence due to Ekman flow, and advection of the geostrophic momentum. These effects and the features of the flow within the boundary layer are discussed in detail. 相似文献

Flow and Pollutant Transport in Urban Street Canyons of Different Aspect Ratios with Ground Heating: Large-Eddy Simulation 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

A validated large-eddy simulation model was employed to study the effect of the aspect ratio and ground heating on the flow
and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons. Three ground-heating intensities (neutral, weak and strong) were imposed
in street canyons of aspect ratio 1, 2, and 0.5. The detailed patterns of flow, turbulence, temperature and pollutant transport
were analyzed and compared. Significant changes of flow and scalar patterns were caused by ground heating in the street canyon
of aspect ratio 2 and 0.5, while only the street canyon of aspect ratio 0.5 showed a change in flow regime (from wake interference
flow to skimming flow). The street canyon of aspect ratio 1 does not show any significant change in the flow field. Ground
heating generated strong mixing of heat and pollutant; the normalized temperature inside street canyons was approximately
spatially uniform and somewhat insensitive to the aspect ratio and heating intensity. This study helps elucidate the combined
effects of urban geometry and thermal stratification on the urban canyon flow and pollutant dispersion. 相似文献

A streamfunction-vorticity formulation is used to explore the extent to which turbulent and turbulently inviscid solutions to the mean momentum balance explain the mean flow across forest edges and within cavities situated inside dense forested canopies. The turbulent solution is based on the mean momentum balance where first-order closure principles are used to model turbulent stresses. The turbulently inviscid solution retains all the key terms in the mean momentum balance but for the turbulent stress gradients. Both exit and entry versions of the forest edge problem are explored. The turbulent solution is found to describe sufficiently the bulk spatial patterns of the mean flow near the edge including signatures of different length scales reported in canopy transition studies. Next, the ‘clearing inside canopy’ or the so-called ‘cavity’ problem is solved for the inviscid and turbulent solutions and then compared against flume experiments. The inviscid solution describes the bulk flow dynamics in much of the zones within the cavity. In particular, the solution can capture the correct position of the bulk recirculation zone within the cavity, although with a weaker magnitude. The inviscid solution cannot capture the large vertical heterogeneity in the mean velocity above the canopy, as expected. These features are better captured via the first-order closure representation of the turbulent solution. Given the ability of this vorticity formulation to capture the mean pressure variations and the mean advective acceleration terms, it is ideal for exploring the distributions of scalars and roughness-induced flow adjustments on complex topography. 相似文献
