Simulation of Urban Microclimate with SOLENE-microclimat - An Outdoor Comfort Case Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

There are numerous physical phenomena that occur in an urban microclimate which need to be taken into account for simulating outdoor comfort. However, very few tools are dedicated towards this cause. The objective of this article is to present the assessment of the impacts of different urban strategies on a simulated neighbourhood microclimate. The neighbourhood is located in Prague, Czech Republic, and its microclimate was simulated using a simulation tool called SOLENE-microclimat. It consists of a coupling of a thermo-radiative model, a thermal building model and a computational fluid dynamics model (CFD). One of its purposes is to simulate the impact of urban built environment on outdoor comfort. The obtained simulation results are based on two variable parameters: surface albedo and presence of trees. These results include variations in surface, air temperatures, wind speeds and the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) in the given urban area. The analysis shows that both variations have a significant impact on the urban microclimate. The potential use of this simulation tool for urban built environment is discussed along with its limitations. Such kind of studies can be important for city planning, i.e. providing thermal comfort in urban built environment and mitigating urban heat island.
