Abstract

Adaptation to climate change on an urban scale is important as increases in temperature will be inevitable according to future climate scenarios. In this study Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)simulations are performed for the Bergpolder Zuid district in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The simulations take into account wind flow, solar radiation, convective and long-wave radiative heat transfer, and evaporative cooling. Two validation studies are performed; one for the surface temperatures and one for the evaporative cooling. In the final stage, a comparative study is performed and it is concluded that evaporative cooling can locally reduce the air temperature at pedestrian height(1.8 meters) by 0.9-2.0°C.
