One-dimensional urban models embedded in mesoscale numerical models may place several grid points within the urban canopy. This requires an accurate parametrization for shear stresses (i.e. vertical momentum fluxes) including the dispersive stress and momentum sinks at these points. We used a case study with a packing density of 33% and checked rigorously the vertical variation of spatially-averaged total shear stress, which can be used in a one-dimensional column urban model. We found that the intrinsic spatial average, in which the volume or area of the solid parts are not included in the average process, yield greater time–spatial average of total stress within the canopy and a more evident abrupt change at the top of the buildings than the comprehensive spatial average, in which the volume or area of the solid parts are included in the average. 相似文献

Urban canopy parameterizations (UCPs) are necessary in mesoscale modelling to take into account the effects of buildings on
wind and turbulent structures. This study is focused on the dynamical part of UCPs. The main objective is twofold: first,
computing important UCP input parameters (turbulent length scales and the sectional drag coefficient) by means of Reynolds-averaged
Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations of turbulent flow; and second, comparing UCP variables with spatially-averaged properties
obtained from RANS simulations for the same configurations. The results show the importance of using a suitable parameterization
of the drag force for different packing densities. An urban canopy parameterization that is a compromise between simplicity
and accuracy is proposed. This scheme accounts for the variation of drag coefficients with packing densities, and has a parameterization
of turbulent length scales. The technique adopted ensures that, at least for the simple configurations studied, the urban
canopy parameterization gives values of spatially-averaged variables similar to those computed from a more complex simulation,
such as RANS that resolves explicitly the flow around buildings. 相似文献

Large-Eddy Simulation of Flows over Random Urban-like Obstacles 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Further to our previous large-eddy simulation (LES) of flow over a staggered array of uniform cubes, a simulation of flow
over random urban-like obstacles is presented. To gain a deeper insight into the effects of randomness in the obstacle topology,
the current results, e.g. spatially-averaged mean velocity, Reynolds stresses, turbulence kinetic energy and dispersive stresses,
are compared with our previous LES data and direct numerical simulation data of flow over uniform cubes. Significantly different
features in the turbulence statistics are observed within and immediately above the canopy, although there are some similarities
in the spatially-averaged statistics. It is also found that the relatively high pressures on the tallest buildings generate
contributions to the total surface drag that are far in excess of their proportionate frontal area within the array. Details
of the turbulence characteristics (like the stress anisotropy) are compared with those in regular roughness arrays and attempts
to find some generality in the turbulence statistics within the canopy region are discussed. 相似文献

A numerical model for the computation of the wind field,air temperature and humidity in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) including the urbancanopy was developed for urban climate simulation. The governing equations of the modelare derived by applying ensemble and spatial averages to the Navier–Stokes equation, continuityequation and equations for heat and water vapour transfer in the air. With the spatial averagingprocedure, effects of buildings and other urban structures in the urban canopy can be accounted for byintroducing an effective volume function, defined as the ratio between the volume of air in acomputational mesh over the total volume of the mesh. The improved k - model accounts for the anisotropyof the turbulence field under density stratification. In the improved k - model, the transportof momentum and heat in the vertical direction under density stratification is evaluated based onthe assumption of a near-equilibrium shear flow where transport effects on the stresses andheat fluxes are negligible. The heating processes at surfaces of buildings and ground are alsomodelled. The comparison of the computational results obtained with the present modeland existing observational data and numerical models shows that the present model is capableof predicting the structure of turbulence in the urban canopy layer under density stratification.Numerical experiments with the new model show that the flow behaviour of the air in the urbancanopy layer is strongly affected by the existence of buildings and density stratification. 相似文献

Dispersive Stresses at the Canopy Upstream Edge 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The derivation of flow and mass transfer models in canopy and porous media environments involves the spatial-averaging of
the flow properties and their subscale equations. The averaging of the momentum equation generates the dispersive stress terms
that represent the subscale spatial variations of the unresolved velocity field. While previous studies ignored the dispersive
stresses in their flow models, recent evidence indicates that the dispersive stresses may be important. Here we focus our
attention on the magnitude of the normal dispersive stresses in the entry region of a ‘forest patch’, where the in-canopy
velocities are large and the longitudinal derivatives do not cancel out. Highly detailed particle image velocimetry measurements,
at a temporal and spatial resolution of 5 Hz and 1.4 mm, are obtained inside and around a 1-m long model canopy which consists
of transparent vertical cylinders 6 mm in diameter and 74.3 mm high (h). The cylinders are randomly distributed to form a relatively sparse forest patch with a leaf area density of 7.56 m−1 and a fluid volume fraction (porosity) of 0.965. We present results of the double averaged flow properties at three different
regions of the forest patch; the upstream edge (x ≈ 0), the fully-developed interior region (x ≈ 10h) and the downstream edge (x ≈ 13h). We find that the normal dispersive stresses around the entry region of the forest patch are significantly larger than the
normal Reynolds stresses. An order of magnitude analysis of the relevant terms in the momentum equation indicates that the
longitudinal derivatives of the dispersive stresses are of the same order of magnitude as that of the drag force and similar
to that of the horizontal convection term. The longitudinal derivatives of the Reynolds stresses are smaller, though cannot
be ignored. Comparing these results with the characteristic profiles measured in the fully-developed region indicates that
the dispersive stresses, which are generated at the forest patch entrance, decrease along an adjustment region while maintaining
their profile shape. We find that the dispersive stresses influence the rate at which momentum penetrates into the canopy.
These observations suggest that under certain flow conditions, dispersive stresses may dominate the momentum balance and therefore
must be considered in future canopy and porous media flow models. 相似文献

A Simple Model for Spatially-averaged Wind Profiles Within and Above an Urban Canopy 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
This paper deals with the modelling of the flow in the urban canopy layer. It critically reviews a well-known formula for
the spatially-averaged wind profile, originally proposed by Cionco in 1965, and provides a new interpretation for it. This
opens up a number of new applications for modelling mean wind flow over the neighbourhood scale. The model is based on a balance
equation between the obstacle drag force and the local shear stress as proposed by Cionco for a vegetative canopy. The buildings
within the canopy are represented as a canopy element drag formulated in terms of morphological parameters such as λ
f
and λ
p
(the ratios of plan area and frontal area of buildings to the lot area). These parameters can be obtained from the analysis
of urban digital elevation models. The shear stress is parameterised using a mixing length approach. Spatially-averaged velocity
profiles for different values of building packing density corresponding to different flow regimes are obtained and analysed.
The computed solutions are compared with published data from wind-tunnel and water-tunnel experiments over arrays of cubes.
The model is used to estimate the spatially-averaged velocity profile within and above neighbourhood areas of real cities
by using vertical profiles of λ

In recent years field experiments have been undertaken in the lower atmosphere to perform a priori tests of subgrid-scale
(SGS) models for large-eddy simulations (LES). The experimental arrangements and data collected have facilitated studies of
variables such as the filtered strain rate, SGS stress and dissipation, and the eddy viscosity coefficient. However, the experimental
set-ups did not permit analysis of the divergence of the SGS stress (the SGS force vector), which is the term that enters
directly in the LES momentum balance equations. Data from a field experiment (SGS2002) in the west desert of Utah, allows
the calculation of the SGS force due to the unique 4 × 4 sonic anemometer array. The vector alignment of the SGS force is
investigated under a range of atmospheric stabilities. The eddy viscosity model is likely aligned with the measured SGS force
under near-neutral and unstable conditions, while its performance is unsatisfactory under stable conditions. 相似文献

An urban boundary layer model (UBLM) is improved by
incorporating the effect of buildings with a sectional drag coefficient and
a height-distributed canopy drag length scale. The improved UBLM is applied
to simulate the wind fields over three typical urban blocks over the Beijing
area with different height-to-width ratios. For comparisons, the wind fields
over the same blocks are simulated by an urban sub-domain scale model
resolving the buildings explicitly. The wind fields simulated from the two
different methods are in good agreement. Then, two-dimensional building
morphological characteristics and urban canopy parameters for Beijing are
derived from detailed building height data. Finally, experiements are
conducted to investigate the effect of buildings on the wind field in
Beijing using the improved UBLM. 相似文献

A multilayer one-dimensional canopy model was developed to analyze the relationship between urban warming and the increase
in energy consumption in a big city. The canopy model, which consists of one-dimensional diffusion equations with a drag force,
has three major parameters: building width, distance between buildings, and vertical floor density distribution, which is
the distribution of a ratio of the number of the buildings that are taller than some level to all the buildings in the area
under consideration. In addition, a simplified radiative process in the canopy is introduced. Both the drag force of the buildings
and the radiative process depend on the floor density distribution. The thermal characteristics of an urban canopy including
the effects of anthropogenic heat are very complicated. Therefore, the focus of this research is mainly on the basic performance
of an urban canopy without anthropogenic heat. First, the basic thermal characteristics of the urban canopy alone were investigated.
The canopy model was then connected with a three-dimensional mesoscale meteorological model, and on-line calculations were
performed for 10 and 11 August, 2002 in Tokyo, Japan. The temperature near the ground surface at the bottom of the canopy
was considerably improved by the calculation with the canopy model. However, a small difference remained between the calculation
and the observation for minimum temperature. Deceleration of the wind was well reproduced for the velocity at the top of the
building by the calculation with the canopy model, in which the floor density distribution was considered. 相似文献

The performance of the modulated-gradient subgrid-scale (SGS) model is investigated using large-eddy simulation (LES) of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer within the weather research and forecasting model. Since the model includes a finite-difference scheme for spatial derivatives, the discretization errors may affect the simulation results. We focus here on understanding the effects of finite-difference schemes on the momentum balance and the mean velocity distribution, and the requirement (or not) of the ad hoc canopy model. We find that, unlike the Smagorinsky and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) models, the calculated mean velocity and vertical shear using the modulated-gradient model, are in good agreement with Monin–Obukhov similarity theory, without the need for an extra near-wall canopy model. The structure of the near-wall turbulent eddies is better resolved using the modulated-gradient model in comparison with the classical Smagorinsky and TKE models, which are too dissipative and yield unrealistic smoothing of the smallest resolved scales. Moreover, the SGS fluxes obtained from the modulated-gradient model are much smaller near the wall in comparison with those obtained from the regular Smagorinsky and TKE models. The apparent inability of the LES model in reproducing the mean streamwise component of the momentum balance using the total (resolved plus SGS) stress near the surface is probably due to the effect of the discretization errors, which can be calculated a posteriori using the Taylor-series expansion of the resolved velocity field. Overall, we demonstrate that the modulated-gradient model is less dissipative and yields more accurate results in comparison with the classical Smagorinsky model, with similar computational costs. 相似文献

Using analyses of data from extant direct numerical simulations and large-eddy simulations of boundary-layer and channel flows over and within urban-type canopies, sectional drag forces, Reynolds and dispersive shear stresses are examined for a range of roughness densities. Using the spatially-averaged mean velocity profiles these quantities allow deduction of the canopy mixing length and sectional drag coefficient. It is shown that the common assumptions about the behaviour of these quantities, needed to produce an analytical model for the canopy velocity profile, are usually invalid, in contrast to what is found in typical vegetative (e.g. forest) canopies. The consequence is that an exponential shape of the spatially-averaged mean velocity profile within the canopy cannot normally be expected, as indeed the data demonstrate. Nonetheless, recent canopy models that allow prediction of the roughness length appropriate for the inertial layer’s logarithmic profile above the canopy do not seem to depend crucially on their (invalid) assumption of an exponential profile within the canopy. 相似文献

Numerical Investigations of Mean Winds Within Canopies of Regularly Arrayed Cubical Buildings Under Neutral Stability Conditions 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Recently, several attempts have been made to model the wind velocity in an urban canopy in order to accurately predict the
mixing and transport of momentum, heat, and pollutants within and above the canopy on an urban scale. For this purpose, unverified
assumptions made by Macdonald (Boundary-Layer Meteorol 97:25–45, 2000) to develop a model for the profile of the mean wind
velocity within an urban canopy have been used. In the present study, in order to provide foundations for improving the urban
canopy models, the properties of the spatially-averaged mean quantities used to make these assumptions have been investigated
by performing large-eddy simulations (LES) of the airflow around square and staggered arrays of cubical blocks with the following
plan area densities: λ
p
= 0.05, 0.11, 0.16, 0.20, 0.25, and 0.33. The LES results confirm that the discrepancy between the spatial average of wind
velocity and Macdonald’s five-point average of wind velocity can be large in both types of arrays for large λ
p
. It is also confirmed that Prandtl’s mixing length varies significantly with height within the canopy, contrary to Macdonald’s
assumption for both types of arrays and for both small and large λ
p
. On the other hand, in accordance with Macdonald’s assumption, the sectional drag coefficient is found to be almost constant
with height except in the case of staggered arrays with high λ

How to Parametrize Urban-Canopy Drag to Reproduce Wind-Direction Effects Within the Canopy 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The mean wind direction within an urban canopy changes with height when the incoming flow is not orthogonal to obstacle faces. This wind-turning effect is induced by complex processes and its modelling in urban-canopy (UC) parametrizations is difficult. Here we focus on the analysis of the spatially-averaged flow properties over an aligned array of cubes and their variation with incoming wind direction. For this purpose, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations previously compared, for a reduced number of incident wind directions, against direct numerical simulation results are used. The drag formulation of a UC parametrization is modified and different drag coefficients are tested in order to reproduce the wind-turning effect within the canopy for oblique wind directions. The simulations carried out for a UC parametrization in one-dimensional mode indicate that a height-dependent drag coefficient is needed to capture this effect. 相似文献

An urban canopy-layer climate model 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
G. Mills 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》1997,57(3-4):229-244
Summary This paper outlines a computer simulation model designed to assess the thermal characteristics of the urban canopy layer (UCL). In contrast to other UCL models, the layer simulated here includes both closed volumes (buildings) and open volumes (canyons). The purpose of the model is to allow the comparison of the climate impacts of different building group configurations. Traditional boundary-layer theory is applied to the surface urban boundary layer (UBL) which lies above the UCL and the derived relations are used to parameterize exchanges of momentum and heat across the UBL/UCL interface. The exterior energy budgets of the roof, walls and floor of the canopy are solved using an equilibrium surface temperature method. The open canopy and interior building air temperatures are found which are in agreement with the surface exchanges. Using measured data for Los Angeles in June, the output of the model is examined. The results show some agreement with measurement studies and suggest that the density of structures can have a substantial impact on UCL/UBL interaction.With 6 Figures 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

A modified three-parameter model of turbulence for a thermally stratified atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is presented. The model is based on tensor-invariant parameterizations for the pressure–strain and pressure–temperature correlations that are more complete than the parameterizations used in the Mellor–Yamada model of level 3.0. The turbulent momentum and heat fluxes are calculated with explicit algebraic models obtained with the aid of symbol algebra from the transport equations for momentum and heat fluxes in the approximation of weakly equilibrium turbulence. The turbulent transport of heat and momentum fluxes is assumed to be negligibly small in this approximation. The three-parameter $E - \varepsilon - {\left\langle {\theta ^{2} } \right\rangle }$ model of thermally stratified turbulence is employed to obtain closed-form algebraic expressions for the fluxes. A computational test of a 24-h ABL evolution is implemented for an idealized two-dimensional region. Comparison of the computed results with the available observational data and other numerical models shows that the proposed model is able to reproduce both the most important structural features of the turbulence in an urban canopy layer near the urbanized ABL surface and the effect of urban roughness on a global structure of the fields of wind and temperature over a city. The results of the computational test for the new model indicate that the motion of air in the urban canopy layer is strongly influenced by mechanical factors (buildings) and thermal stratification. 相似文献
