Modelling of Complex Urban Systems and Areas of Possible Improvements Dr Žarko Stevanović Belgrade University Institute of Nuclear Sciences - VINČA zare@vinca.rs
MODELLING - CONCEPT Natural Phenomena Modelling Quantification - CFD
NATURAL PHENOMENA etc. Fluid Flow (Air Movement, Turbulence, Buoyancy) Heat Transfer (Conduction, Convection, Radiation) Mass Transfer (Pollution Dispersion) Phase Changes (Vaporization, Solidification) Combustion (Heat and Smoke Realize) etc.
MODELLING BUILT ENVIRONMENT - SCOPE Adaptations Urban design: heat islands and street canyon effects Building design and adaptations for protection against temperature, pollution, fire and flood risks Mitigation Urban design, structure and organization to promote low GHG emissions and healthy living Energy efficiency / Low carbon design of buildings: impact on indoor environments
Heat Islands Effects Rural Areas Urban Areas
Street Canyon Effects Isolated Roughness Flow Skimming Flow Wake Interface Flow Skimming Flow
Urban Pollution Effects Point source pollution : - Chimney Line source pollution: – Urban Traffic
MODELLING BUILT ENVIRONMENT - METHODOLOGIES Experimental: Wind – tunnel investigation Modelling: Computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD )
Experimental – Wind Tunnel
CFD – E X A M P L E S
