Abstract

Characteristics of basic "flow modules" associated with an isolated building, a fence and building combination, and a building with various canapies in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer are documented. It is shown that the installation of a poreus fence in open areas produces effective prevention for pedestrians, while its presence in front of the building worsens the condition there.
