Cfd Simulation of Micro-climate in Waterfront

As an important influence factor of unban climate, unban water bodies take positive effect on the microclimate of surrounding area in summer. This paper firstly evaluated performances of five different models comparing with experimental results of windtunnel to find out which is most suitable for thermal prediction of micro-climate. Then, SKE model was selected to simulate four planning cases c...
