Abstract

In the present paper, a computational study of the influence of solar and thermal radiation on the formation of wind and temperature conditions in urban environment is carried out using the example of an urban area of Krasnoyarsk in winter. For calculations, a developed microscale mathematical model of urban atmosphere was used. The calculation results showed that the presence of radiation in the daytime leads to an increase of temperature and average speed of wind, as well as to the formation of an unsteady wind regime in urban environment.
