Abstract: thermal behaviour of the materials, e.g., the street floor under the sun and on the geometrical characteristics of the surrounding buildings under low wind conditions. They have a detrimental effect on the stability conditions within and above street canyons, which in turn affect the wind flow patterns and the local air quality. The purpose of the present work is to study experimentally and numerically the flow field developed under neutral and unstable stratification conditions within a typical square urban street canyon. A two-dimensional set...
