Prepared by the Task Committee on Urban Aerodynamics of the
Environmental Wind Engineering Committee of the Technical Council
on Wind Engineering of ASCE. Urban Aerodynamics: Wind Engineering
for Urban Planners and Designers introduces the basic tools and
technology used by engineers to determine the effects of wind on
city streets and structures. Familiarity with the fundamentals of
urban aerodynamics offers many advantages to city planners and
urban designers, most especially the opportunity to incorporate
quantitative techniques into the design and development process.
This volume traces the historical development of wind engineering
techniques leading up to today's use of boundary layer wind tunnel
studies and computational fluid dynamics assessments. Examples show
the application of wind engineering to address urban issues such as
pedestrian-level wind control, design for hurricane shelter, urban
summer breeze penetration, winter wind shielding, the natural
ventilation of buildings, and dispersion of airborne pollutants.
Current tools and techniques for both qualitative and quantitative
assessment of urban wind effects are reviewed, and an extensive
list of references is included. This book is a compact essential
reference for city planners, urban designers, and architects, as
well as structural and wind engineers.
