Abstract

The urban morphology has important implications for urban wind environment. In urban planning and design, the optimization of wind environment by urban form controlling has been receiving increasing attention. Taking Shanghai Yangshupu Industrial Estate as a real case, the study analyzes urban morphology and ventilation effect, introducing wind environmental indicators: wind velocity ratio (Fv), factor of wind dispersion (Fd), factor of wind recession (Fr), ratio of wind comfort area (Fc) and morphological indicators: ratio of public space (Rp), ratio of public space distribution (Rpd), average frontal façade area (Rfa), average sky view factor (Rsvf). With three-dimensional modeling and CFD simulation, the result shows that these two series of indicators have significant correlation. The present findings are supposed to provide a strategy for optimizing urban morphology and wind environmental at pedestrian level in the early stage of urban design.
