Abstract

A study of turbulent kinetic energy produced by buildings in an urban central business district is presented. The measurements from 45 sonic anemometers placed within the CBD were used in this study. It was found to be useful to divide the anemometer data into three groups for analysis purposes. Wind speed power spectra were computed for all anemometers and smoothed and averaged for the three groups. The results indicate that the open areas have more energy in eddies with periods of greater than 30 seconds than the street canyons.
