“…The increased aerodynamic roughness introduced by additional urban trees may reduce the penetration of cool winds. In fact, the representation of the drag coefficient of trees in computational fluid dynamic models has been deeply investigated in the last years, moving from discrete (Mochida, Lun 2008) to bulk approaches (Gülten et al 2016), fewer model improvements have been proposed for urban canopy parametrizations, with notable exceptions (Krayenhoff et al 2015). Unfortunately, this aspect is still not fully incorporated in the urban tile of land surface models (Oleson et al 2010), with the common approach being a bulk increase of aerodynamic roughness or a more detailed partitioning of the fluxes (Chen et al 2011).…”

Urban greenery is a natural solution to cool cities and provide comfort, clean air and significant social, health and economic benefits. This paper aims to present the latest progress on the field of greenery urban mitigation techniques including aspects related to the theoretical and experimental assessment of the greenery cooling potential, the impact on urban vegetation on energy, health and comfort and the acquired knowledge on the best integration of the various types of greenery in the urban frame. Also to present the recent knowledge on the impact of climate change on the cooling performance of urban vegetation and investigate and analyse possible technological solutions to face the impact of high ambient temperatures.

“…The use of thermal remote sensing for collecting validation data for CFD simulations has gained attention in recent years (Chui et al, 2018;Coutts et al, 2016;Gulten et al, 2016). This can be explained due to the substantial improvements in the underlying technology, offering higher resolution and better accuracy at considerably lower cost.…”

“…The central role of green space and vegetation in mitigating the heat island effect has attracted widespread attention from scholars [ 114 ]. The recent research has focused on the mechanism and influence of green plants in the urban thermal environment [ 115 , 116 , 117 ], the simplification of the vegetation model and its coupling with CFD [ 114 , 118 ], and the relationship between the USTE and various vegetation parameters, such as the relationships between the intensity of urban heat islands and vegetation index values [ 119 , 120 ], vegetation abundance [ 121 ], and the standardized compactness index [ 99 ].…”

Rapid urbanization has made urban space thermal environment (USTE) problems increasingly prominent. USTE research is important for improving urban ecological environment and building energy consumption. Most studies on USTE research progress have focused on meteorological observations and remote sensing methods, and few studies on USTE are based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). During the past two decades, with the increasing applications of CFD in USTE research, comprehensively summarizing the phased results have become necessary tasks. This paper analyzes the current research status of CFD-based USTE simulation from six perspectives. First, we summarize the current research status of USTE simulation with CFD models that integrate ground observations and remote sensing technology. Second, we define and classify the spatial scope of CFD-based USTE simulations at different scales. Third, we systematically analyze the quantitative relationships among urban land type, the underlying surface structure, water bodies, green space and the corresponding changes in CFD-based USTE simulations. Fourth, we quantitatively analyze the impact of anthropogenic heat in CFD-based USTE simulations. Fifth, we summarize the corresponding USTE mitigation measures and methods based on the CFD simulation results. Finally, the outlooks and the existing problems in current research on CFD simulations of the USTE are analyzed.
