The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

This work describes the application of a one-way nesting numerical method aimed at analyzing the pedestrian-level wind distribution around a tall building in addition to proposing and evaluating wind-mitigating barrier configurations. The implemented nesting procedure is termed "one-way" because it is assumed that the far-field boundary condition is dictated by the regional winds, regardless of the geometry of the site and its influence on the local fluid flow field. A consistent domain-reducing technique is used in order to achieve adequate domain discretization resolution without exceeding limited memory resources. The evaluation of the existing configuration and the consolidation of different mitigation configurations are accomplished through numerical experimentation before actual wind tunnel tests are carried out. The number of configurations to be tested in the wind tunnel is therefore reduced. Expected mitigation results for some of the areas under analysis are presented in detail.
