  • ABSTRAK Due to rapid urban development accompanied by the increase of artificial heat release in urban and rural areas, the investigation of heat transfer and airflow around a cluster of buildings was studied by using a standard k-E turbulence model combined with multi-block grids and adopting low fluctuating velocities. A combination of low fluctuating velocity components and Van Leer schemes reduces the over-estimation of the production term of the turbulent kinetic energy in standard k-E turbulence models and the number of iterations, reducing the CPU time. It is shown that the pressure distribution at the windward corner of a cubic building is minimised by using this model. Keywords: airflow, heat transfer
