| Abstract | The knowledge of pedestrian-level wind environment (PLWE) near tall buildings is important for maintaining comfortable and safe wind conditions for pedestrians walking nearby. This paper presents the characteristics of PLWE near an isolated tall building, an array of tall buildings, and a 400m tall building with unconventional configurations in an urban area and it elucidates how the flow features at the pedestrian level vary with dimensions and architectural features of nearby tall buildings. The PLWE near tall buildings is first evaluated using qualitative indicators such as areas of high and low wind speeds (qualitative), and quantitative indicators such as size and intensity of high and low wind speeds, and maximum mean wind speed. Furthermore, this paper presents a systematic assessment of the PLWE in a real urban area using the procedure of Air Ventilation Assessment (AVA). The concluding remarks provide valuable insight for designing a comfortable PLWE near tall buildings. |
