4. Conclusions
- Aimed at the isolated building, the three factors, i.e., approach wind (Section 3.1.1), thermal intensity (Section 3.1.2) and source location (Section 3.1.3), have significant influences on the flow field and pollutant dispersion routes both in and around the isolated building and should not be ignored by residents and architects. In the context of the global airborne disease pandemic, reasonable prevention and control measures based on the coupled effects of wind and thermal force are appropriate methods to prevent or reduce exposure. However, research gaps in the literature have been identified. Multiple studies strongly rely on costly experiments and numerical simulations, while additional works are required once the parameters change. Further study linking the environmental indicators to the influencing factor and Ri number is needed.
- Aimed at the street canyon, the four parameters, i.e., approaching wind (Section 3.2.1), thermal position (Section 3.2.2), thermal intensity (Section 3.2.3) and canyon geometry (Section 3.2.4), played major roles in the airflow and pollutant concentration decisions in urban areas. The flow regimes in street canyons with various aspect ratios, thermal positions and intensities varied in different studies. We suggest further simulations using the wind tunnel experiments database with a similar aspect ratio, thermal position and Ri number to validate the numerical methods. In addition, the accuracy of the Reynolds number-independent criterion under non-isothermal conditions remains questionable, and it is worth exploring and investigating whether the results obtained from scaled models can be generalized to all full-scale models in follow-up investigations.
