Including trees in the numerical simulations of the wind flow in urban areas: Should we care?

Although trees are numerous in urban areas, their dynamic effects on the wind flow are usually approximated or neglected altogether in many wind engineering studies, especially those based on numerical modeling. This study investigates the effect of the inclusion of trees in numerical simulations of...
