OUTDOOR SCALE MODEL EXPERIMENTS FOR THE ESTIMATION OF LOCAL HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS

Abstract

Heat transfer coefficients (HTC) at the local facets are one of the most important unknown land surface parameter for the urban modeling. To examine the HTC at each constituent facet systematically, we conducted outdoor scale model experiments. The HTC in summer 5 days are estimated using energy residual method under natural wind and radiative conditions. The qualitative relations between related non-dimensional variables are examined.
