But what  distinguishes wind engineering in urban areas from conventional wind  engineering? Principally, the fact that the effects studied are  usually unique to a particular situation, requiring consideration of  the surroundings of the buildings. In the past, modelling criteria  have been developed that make it possible to solve environmental  problems with great confidence, and studies validated the models: at  least in a neutrally stratified atmosphere. \u003cbr\u003e  The approach adopted in the book is that of applied fluid mechanics,  since this forms the basis for the evaluation of the urban wind field.  Variables for air quality or loads are problem specific, or even  random, and methods for studying them are based on risk analysis,  which is also presented. Criteria are developed for a systematic  approach to urban wind engineering problems, including parameter  studies. \u003cbr\u003e  The five sections of the book are: Fundamentals of urban boundary  layer and dispersion; Forces on complex structures in built-up areas;  Air pollution in cities; Numerical solution techniques; and Posters. A  subject index is included. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1994-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792332022\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3686-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 772\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311726514316,"sku":"9780792332022","price":494.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792332022.jpg?v=1771511520","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792332022","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
