Welcome! ‘UFlows’ is a start-up company that specializes in computer modelling and simulations of flow, turbulence and dispersion of pollutants in Urban Areas. Based on the state-of-art computer simulations, we can provide expert analysis and consultancy in comparative assessments of different situations occurring in environmental problems. Founded on a unique combination of the efficient numerical methods and advanced models for predictions of flow, turbulence and dispersion of pollutants, our simulation tools can be used for sustainable development, urban management and control of pollution in complex urban areas.
City scale environmental studies:
- Assessment of critical parameters (local orography, meteorological conditions, industrial and traffic pollution) on sustainable development of cities
- Impact of the residential and industrial zone developments on air quality
- Risk analysis for production plants in or in proximity of urban areas
- Dynamical predictions of pollutant front in case of chemical disasters
Neighbourhood and street scale environmental studies:
- Predictions of traffic pollution in street-canyons
- Effects of local urban vegetation (trees) on pollutant dispersion
- Studies of traffic induced turbulence on pollution
- Air quality at schoolyards and playgrounds
- Risk analysis of road incidents with dangerous chemicals
- Flow around arrays of high- or low-rise buildings
- Optimization of a building location
- Effects of urban vegetation (trees along streets, green areas, parks) on airflow at the pedestrian level
- Buildings shape optimization
- Optimal location of wind farms in hilly and mountain terrains
- Urban wind turbines: positioning and efficiency
- Optimizations of rooftop wind turbines efficiency
- Indoor climate simulations
- Smoke spreading in tunnels
