Influences of structures on urban ventilation: A numerical experiment

Numerical simulations are carried out for the disturbed flow caused by three six-story buildings and a twenty-story tall tower respectively, as well as the distribution of automobile exhaust gas from a nearby road, based on the Peking University Model of Atmospheric Environment. The results show that the ventilation is better around the tall tower than around the three six-story residential buildings for the same number of households in the same urban region.
