On the Influence of Geometrical Features and Wind Direction over an Urban Canyon Applying a FEM Analysis.

The urban areas discomfort is related to the increase of local temperatures due to the geometrical characteristics and thermal properties of the built environment. This study shows the results of a FEM analysis through which a urban canyon geometry has been modelled. A 3D domain has been considered taking into account three different wind directions and to geometrical parameters variation, such as the aspect ratio (Height- Width) and the urban canyon length.
