• A review on the CFD analysis of urban microclimate (2017, methodology): “The standard k-ε model [157] is one of the most popular turbulence models among CFD studies [76] but as argued in several publications [75,95,364], some improved models, such as the realizable k-ε model [154] can show better performance in resolving the mean flow field.”
• CFD simulation for pedestrian wind comfort and wind safety in urban areas: General decision framework and case study for the Eindhoven University campus (2012, methodology): “With this technique, rather complex geometries can be meshed, without resorting to the use of pyramidal and tetrahedral cells (van Hooff and Blocken 2010a; 2010b; van Hooff et al. 2011a; 2011b), which can be detrimental for convergence with higher-order discretisation schemes and therefore for…”
• Uncertainty in airflow rate calculations due to the use of surface-averaged pressure coefficients (2010, unknown): “Although there are studies that have presented a coupled approach for the simulation of outdoor wind flow and indoor natural ventilation of buildings [31], by far most wind-driven airflow studies are performed in a decoupled way.”
• A review of assessment methods for the urban environment and its energy sustainability to guarantee climate adaptation of future cities (2019, background): “…these approaches, several studies have investigated the relationship between urban morphology and the energy demand and supply of buildings in urban areas, each considering some influencing parameters of urban morphology in terms of energy demand [162,163] and wind assessment for ventilation [164].”
