The thermal effects due to the variable solar heating of the
buildings walls and the heating produced by the vehicles on the airflow within a
street canyon are studied by this group. The thermal effects (TEF) group, as all
TRAPOS working groups, has the following responsibilities:
Most of the group's activities are underway. These include:
Working group activities
Analysis of the
temperature and wind measurements of Nantes99
experimental campaign at Ecole Centrale de Nantes.
Modelling of the
thermal effects due to the different walls heating using the standard k-epsilon
numerical model
CHENSI at Ecole Centrale de Nantes.
Wind-tunnel
experiments looking at the effect of the different walls heating at the
University of Surrey with the collaboration of Ecole Centrale de Nantes.
Modelling of the
thermal effects induced by vehicles at CERC.
