Abstract

The characteristics of basic "flow modules" associated with an isolated building, a fence and building combination, and a building with various canopies in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer are documented. The installation of a porous fence in open areas produces effective protection for pedestrians, while its presence in front of the building worsens the condition here. The fence solidity does not have any appreciable effects on the flow field.
