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

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

The transport of a passive scalar from a continuous point-source release in an urban street network is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS). Dispersion through the network is characterized by evaluating horizontal fluxes of scalar within and above the urban canopy and vertical exchange fluxes through the canopy top. The relative magnitude and balance of these fluxes are used to distinguish three different regions relative to the source location: a near-field region, a transition region and a far-field region. The partitioning of each of these fluxes into mean and turbulent parts is computed. It is shown that within the canopy the horizontal turbulent flux in the street network is small, whereas above the canopy it comprises a significant fraction of the total flux. Vertical fluxes through the canopy top are predominantly turbulent. The mean and turbulent fluxes are respectively parametrized in terms of an advection velocity and a detrainment velocity and the parametrization incorporated into a simple box-network model. The model treats the coupled dispersion problem within and above the street network in a unified way and predictions of mean concentrations compare well with the DNS data. This demonstrates the usefulness of the box-network approach for process studies and interpretation of results from more detailed numerical simulations. 相似文献

Dispersion of a Point-Source Release of a Passive Scalar Through an Urban-Like Array for Different Wind Directions 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The dispersion of a point-source release of a passive scalar in a regular array of cubical, urban-like, obstacles is investigated
by means of direct numerical simulations. The simulations are conducted under conditions of neutral stability and fully rough
turbulent flow, at a roughness Reynolds number of Re
τ
= 500. The Navier–Stokes and scalar equations are integrated assuming a constant rate release from a point source close to
the ground within the array. We focus on short-range dispersion, when most of the material is still within the building canopy.
Mean and fluctuating concentrations are computed for three different pressure gradient directions (0°, 30°, 45°). The results
agree well with available experimental data measured in a water channel for a flow angle of 0°. Profiles of mean concentration
and the three-dimensional structure of the dispersion pattern are compared for the different forcing angles. A number of processes
affecting the plume structure are identified and discussed, including: (i) advection or channelling of scalar down ‘streets’,
(ii) lateral dispersion by turbulent fluctuations and topological dispersion induced by dividing streamlines around buildings,
(iii) skewing of the plume due to flow turning with height, (iv) detrainment by turbulent dispersion or mean recirculation,
(v) entrainment and release of scalar in building wakes, giving rise to ‘secondary sources’, (vi) plume meandering due to
unsteady turbulent fluctuations. Finally, results on relative concentration fluctuations are presented and compared with the
literature for point source dispersion over flat terrain and urban arrays. 相似文献

Wind fields in the atmospheric surface layer (ASL) are highly three-dimensional and characterized by strong spatial and temporal variability. For various applications such as wind-comfort assessments and structural design, an understanding of potentially hazardous wind extremes is important. Statistical models are designed to facilitate conclusions about the occurrence probability of wind speeds based on the knowledge of low-order flow statistics. Being particularly interested in the upper tail regions we show that the statistical behaviour of near-surface wind speeds is adequately represented by the Beta distribution. By using the properties of the Beta probability density function in combination with a model for estimating extreme values based on readily available turbulence statistics, it is demonstrated that this novel modelling approach reliably predicts the upper margins of encountered wind speeds. The model’s basic parameter is derived from three substantially different calibrating datasets of flow in the ASL originating from boundary-layer wind-tunnel measurements and direct numerical simulation. Evaluating the model based on independent field observations of near-surface wind speeds shows a high level of agreement between the statistically modelled horizontal wind speeds and measurements. The results show that, based on knowledge of only a few simple flow statistics (mean wind speed, wind-speed fluctuations and integral time scales), the occurrence probability of velocity magnitudes at arbitrary flow locations in the ASL can be estimated with a high degree of confidence. 相似文献

Turbulence statistics obtained by direct numerical simulations are analysed to investigate spatial heterogeneity within regular
arrays of building-like cubical obstacles. Two different array layouts are studied, staggered and square, both at a packing
density of . The flow statistics analysed are mean streamwise velocity (), shear stress (), turbulent kinetic energy (k) and dispersive stress fraction (). The spatial flow patterns and spatial distribution of these statistics in the two arrays are found to be very different.
Local regions of high spatial variability are identified. The overall spatial variances of the statistics are shown to be
generally very significant in comparison with their spatial averages within the arrays. Above the arrays the spatial variances
as well as dispersive stresses decay rapidly to zero. The heterogeneity is explored further by separately considering six
different flow regimes identified within the arrays, described here as: channelling region, constricted region, intersection
region, building wake region, canyon region and front-recirculation region. It is found that the flow in the first three regions
is relatively homogeneous, but that spatial variances in the latter three regions are large, especially in the building wake
and canyon regions. The implication is that, in general, the flow immediately behind (and, to a lesser extent, in front of)
a building is much more heterogeneous than elsewhere, even in the relatively dense arrays considered here. Most of the dispersive
stress is concentrated in these regions. Considering the experimental difficulties of obtaining enough point measurements
to form a representative spatial average, the error incurred by degrading the sampling resolution is investigated. It is found
that a good estimate for both area and line averages can be obtained using a relatively small number of strategically located
sampling points. 相似文献

Variation of the Sectional Drag Coefficient of a Group of Buildings with Packing Density 总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0
Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations of turbulent flow over groups of buildings with different packing densities
are reported. The results for a selected packing density are compared with direct numerical simulations (DNS) previously validated
against wind-tunnel data. The present study is focused on average properties of the flow, especially on the drag coefficients,
and is a first attempt to provide information on these parameters (their values are not generally known) for a range of packing
densities, for a given staggered arrangement of cubes using RANS methods. However, some of the limitations of RANS have come
to light. Hence, it is recommended that such simulations are ‘calibrated’ against experimental or DNS data, as is done here. 相似文献

The mean flow within inhomogeneous urban areas is investigated using an urban canopy model. The urban canopy model provides a conceptual and computational tool for representing urban areas in a way suitable for parameterisation within numerical weather prediction and urban air quality models. Average aerodynamic properties of groups of buildings on a neighbourhood scale can be obtained in terms of the geometry and layout of the buildings. These canopy parameters then determine the spatially averaged mean wind speeds within the canopy as a whole. Using morphological data for real cities, computations are performed for representative sections of cities. Simulations are performed to study transitions between different urban neighbourhoods, such as residential areas and city centres. Such transitions are accompanied by changes in mean building density and building height. These are considered first in isolation, then in combination, and the generic effects of each type of change are identified. The simulation of winds through a selection of downtown Los Angeles is considered as an example. An increase in canopy density is usually associated with a decrease in the mean wind speed. The largest difference between mean winds in canopies of different densities occurs near ground level. Winds generally decrease upon encountering a taller canopy of the same density, but this effect may be reversed very near the ground, with possible speed-ups if the canopy is especially tall. In the vicinity of a transition there is an overshoot in the mean wind speed in the bottom part of the canopy. Mechanisms for these effects are discussed. 相似文献

The flow within a canopy of large bluff bodies is highly turbulent and spatially heterogeneous. Results from direct numerical
simulations over groups of cubical obstacles are analysed using the double-averaging methodology. The obstacles occupy a significant
fraction of the canopy space; this gives rise to substantial dispersive stresses within the canopy. The underlying bluff-body
turbulent dynamics is different from typical canopy turbulence, and this is reflected in the double-averaged statistics. The
spatially-averaged velocities, stresses and drag force depend significantly upon the layout of the obstacles. An ongoing challenge
is to parameterise these spatially-averaged quantities in terms of the obstacle geometry and layout. 相似文献

This paper presents a review of recent experimental and numerical studies which deal with the analysis of form-induced stress
in rough wall turbulent boundary layers. The aim of the paper is to assess the importance of this stress for various rough
wall geometries and flow conditions. Analysis of the significance of form-induced stress is first performed by comparing its
magnitude with the magnitude of Reynolds stress for each data set available in literature. Then, by selecting a special set
of data, we analyze the comparison between the gradients of both stresses. We point out that the comparison of stress gradients
gives a different perspective on the role of form-induced stress in rough wall boundary layers. 相似文献
