Abstract
Combining with field experiments in Ivy Town residential area, numerical simulation of the influ- ences of vegetation on outdoor wind environment with SPOTE (Simulation Platform for Outdoor Thermal Environment) was carried out for comparison in the study. The conclusions were drawn as follows: 1) the wind velocity with and without vegetation was compared both in winter and summer; the simulation results would help us determine which vegetation to plant in green space; 2) after supplanting the status deciduous vegetation into evergreen one, the actual wind velocity increased to a much extent in areas with adjusting vegetation than areas with status vegetation, with an increase by 64.7% in winter; 3) by adjusting arrangement and types of vegetation in the regions where the wind environment was unpleasant for pedestrian thermal comfort both in win- ter and summer, the pedestrian-level wind velocity could be obviously improved through the si- mulation and comparison.

(2015) Coupling Numerical Simulation and Field Experiment to Optimize Vegetation Arrangement for Pleasant Outdoor Wind Environment in Residential District
Combining field experimental tests with numerical studies by Simulation Platform for Outdoor Thermal Environment (SPOTE) [15], this study investigated the optimal design of vegetation to develop the optimal design method for a pleasant outdoor thermal environment, and the optimal design of vegetation was examined for im
In order to investigate influence of different vegetation on wind filed, numerical simulations were carried out to determine which vegetation to plant in green space in that we can predict the effects of vegetation on wind environment
