Implication

Experimental study demonstrates reduced flow velocity and altered turbulence in vegetated street canyons, highlighting complex effects on urban microclimate ventilation.

Key Points

Vegetation significantly decreases mean flow velocity and weakens transversal circulation within street canyons, with stronger dampening at higher wind angles.
At a 60° canyon inclination, boundary layer measurements show turbulent velocity fields decrease at trunk levels while energy peaks shift to high frequencies.
Data support refined modeling of urban canyon ventilation and microclimate dynamics, highlighting aerodynamic trade-offs for urban pollutant transport.
