Analysis of the urban wind environment can play an important role in the design of sustainable urban areas. The wind patterns in the urban canopy can affect citizen comfort, safety, and health, as well as building energy consumption. For example, local accelerations of wind flow around high-rise buildings can create uncomfortable or even dangerous conditions for pedestrians; interference effects between different buildings can generate complex wind loading phenomena that compromise resilience to extreme wind events; the local wind field can influence the capability to use air flow driven by natural wind and buoyancy to ventilate or cool buildings and reduce building energy consumption; and wind patterns will affect the transport of pollutants and heat, potentially generating local hot spots with high concentrations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which numerically solves the governing equations for fluid flow and heat transfer, can provide predictions for the complete three-dimensional flow and temperature field in the urban canopy. In theory, this could provide invaluable information for the design of buildings and urban areas; in practice, there are several challenges when using CFD in the design process. An important challenge has been that the simulation process, which includes model setup, execution of the simulation, and post-processing of the results, can be a very time-consuming task that demands a skilled CFD engineer. Significant advances in CFD software packages and high-performance computing capabilities are increasingly alleviating this problem; current simulation turnaround times are catching up with industry demands. Consequently, more fundamental challenges become the limiting factors: the complexity of the urban geometry, the variability in the atmospheric conditions, and the turbulent flow physics push the state-of-the-art in terms of the predictive capabilities of CFD, and engineers have only limited confidence in the accuracy of the simulation results. To efficiently address these challenges and provide results that can be used to quantitatively inform design, we need novel probabilistic modeling strategies that can quantify and reduce the uncertainty in the predictions.
