If one surveys the development of wind engineering, one comes to
the conclusion that the challenge of urban climatology is one of
the most important remaining tasks for the wind engineers. But what
distinguishes wind engineering in urban areas from conventional
wind engineering? Principally, the fact that the effects studied
are usually unique to a particular situation, requiring
consideration of the surroundings of the buildings. In the past,
modelling criteria have been developed that make it possible to
solve environmental problems with great confidence, and studies
validated the models: at least in a neutrally stratified
atmosphere. The approach adopted in the book is that of applied
fluid mechanics, since this forms the basis for the evaluation of
the urban wind field. Variables for air quality or loads are
problem specific, or even random, and methods for studying them are
based on risk analysis, which is also presented. Criteria are
developed for a systematic approach to urban wind engineering
problems, including parameter studies. The five sections of the
book are: Fundamentals of urban boundary layer and dispersion;
Forces on complex structures in built-up areas; Air pollution in
cities; Numerical solution techniques; and Posters. A subject index
is included.
