Synopsis

"Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Built Environment provides a clear and practical pathway for applying CFD to real building and urban environmental challenges. Drawing from decades of research and industry experience, Poh Hee Joo presents both fundamental principles and real-world applications in a highly accessible manner. This book will be valuable for students, researchers, and practitioners seeking to use CFD for performance-based design in the built environment." Professor Chandra Sekhar Department of the Built Environment, College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore "Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Built Environment provides a rigorous and thoughtfully structured bridge between fundamental transport phenomena and real-world building and urban performance challenges. Drawing upon strong theoretical foundations and extensive professional experience, Dr Poh demonstrates how CFD can be applied responsibly and effectively in support of sustainable and performance-based design. This book will serve as a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners, and students seeking both engineering depth and practical relevance." Prof. Arun S Mujumdar Department of Bioresource Engineering, McGill University, Quebec, Canada Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Applications in the Built Environment offers a clear, practice-oriented guide to using CFD for building and urban design. Written for non-specialist users, it bridges the gap between CFD theory and real-world application, guiding readers through the full modelling workflow from geometry and meshing to validation and interpretation. The book integrates academic benchmark studies with industry and research case examples drawn from decades of professional experience. Coverage includes ventilation, wind-driven rain, indoor air quality, thermal comfort, urban microclimate, vegetation effects, pollutant dispersion, fire safety, and hydrogen infrastructure. Aligned with performance-based design and green building certification, and supported by tutorial questions and working examples, this book is an essential reference for sustainable, high-performance built environments.
