1. Introduction

Dhanmondi is one of the well designed residentialareas of Dhaka, the Capital of Bangladesh. The areawas planned and developed in the early fifties withlarge plots, wide roads and sound naturalenvironment. Though mostly residential, over theyears several commercial developments took placealongside the main vehicular acceis roads. Satmasjidroad is the primary road that runs through iheDhanmondi residential area and retains the characterof the urban canyon of 30m-40m width, 20m_40mhigh enclosure in both sides, having vegetai canopy onroad_islands, robust open spaces and iakes alongsiaeit. However this road creates an urban corridor. Thecore objective of the study is to understand the impactof urban canyon on the micro climate of Dhanmondiarea. As a part of the study a field survey has beendone on a bright sunny day having the mlasurementof air temperature, relative humidity and wind velocityat several points in the urban canyon.

These data was also taken at a certain depth from it tounderstand the micro climate due to the urban canyonand porosity of the urban fabric. The study ilsoinvestigates the effect of the spatial variables on thetemperature (T), relative humidity (Rh), mean radianttemperature (Tmrt) and wind velocity (V) in thesurrounding areas ofthis urban canyon by field surveyand simulation using ENVI-met software.

4. Field Investigation

The month of August was selected for the

investigation. Generally in this month the pick airtemperature can rise up to 330 C during daytime. The

field investigation was done in the urban canyon and

at a distance from it, i.e. in the secondary roads

connected with it. Field data of temperature (T) and

relative humidity (Rh) was measured in several pointsfrom I I a.m. to 12 p.m. on 26th August in the selectedportion of the urban canyon [fig l]. Average Windvelocity (V) was measured 1.5 m/s at lOm level. Thisvalue is taken as the average wind velocity (V) in thisportion of urban canyon because at road level it was

inconsistent due to the air turbulences created by thevehicular movement. As the size of the ponion ofurban canyon was determined according to l:10width-length ratio, the length of the study area inurban canyon was taken 400m where the width was

30m. Field data was also taken at about 120m distance

from the urban canyon to understand its impact on the

micro-climate of the surrounding area. From I I a.m.

to 12 p.m. average air temperature was found around33.50 C and average Relative humidity (Rh) was 62%.

From the field data it has been observed that the airtemperature is 10 C -20 C higher in the secondaryroads at a distance from the urban canyon. Humiditylevel varied in different points, e.g. spaces below the

vegetal canopy shows higher humidity level than the

spaces exposed to direct solar exposure.

5. Simulation by the ENVI-met

5.1. ENVI-met:ENVI-met is a three-dimensional non-hydrostaticmicroclimate model including a simple one

dimensional soil model, a radiative transfer model and

a vegetation model (Bruse and Fleer, 1998). The

software is developed by Prof. M. Bruse, Universityof Mainz. The software runs on standard x86 personal

computer running Windows XP or Vista and does nottake advantage of more than one processor ordistributed computing []. Therefore the maximumnumber of grid cells is quite limited and it is notpossible to simulate the micro-climate of whole cities

but only single quarters within. ENVI-met uses an

uniform mesh with a maximum of about 300x300x35cells with the horizontal extension ranging between

0.5-l0m and a typical vertical height of 1-5m [2]. The

version of ENVI-met used in this study is a developerversion and contains some ameliorations and features

that are not available in the version 3.1 which is

currently available to the public. One of these new

features, the possibility to explicitly force the

meteorological parameters at the inflow boundaries, is

used in this study [3].

5.2. Model Area and simulation:A linear segment of the Satmasjid road has beenraldomly selected on the basis of tire typical characterof.the urban canyon with porosity and' variations ofheight in the urban fabric. The selected segment of theroad has

_a large playground on the east side, plant

nursery alongside the boundary walls, l5m high treeson the road islands and in the periphery ofthe canyonin some places. The length oi th. urbun canyon forstudy area was determined according to l:10 width_Iength ratio, where the width was 30t and the lengthwas taken for 400m from a node to another node. Forthe modeling an area of 320m X 400m has beenselected to assess the impact of the urban canyon onthe microclimate of this area. The selected area isdivided- in to 80 grids in X-axis and 100 grids in y-axis where each grid is equal to 4m i +rn. fn,simulation was done in the date of field survey, i.e.26tr' August, 2013 and the time s"g..nt-*u, tut"ofrom 10 A.M. to 4 p.M. Total simuiation time was 6hours where the data was taken at l0 A.M., 12p.M.,2P.M. and 4 P.M. The tress in the road island was notconsidered in simulation model as these trees were notso large or dense to have significant impact on theradiant temperature ofthe urban canyon.

5.3. Validation of simulation output:To compare the simulation result with the real worlddata, five "Study zones".were picked up randomlyfrom the selected area adjacent L tne urbun .unyon.The simulation result of air temperature and relativehumidity in these ,,Study ,on.r" at 12 p.M. wascompared with the field data taken from I I A.M. to 12P.M. the comparison as follows

The temperature difference from the field data tosimulation data is maximum 2.5 K. Temperaturedifference between field data and simulation'Oata instudy zone I and2 is very nominal as these zones areinside the urban canyon. In the simulation, the distantzones from the urban canyons like study zone 4 and 5shows around 2.5 K temperature difference than thefield data. Hence, minimum temperature diitbrencevalidates the simulation output.

7. Observation and Findings

From the simulation result the following impact ofurban canyon has been observed, e.g.

Air Temperature: Air temperature increases with thetime from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the entire area. Theparts of urban canyon where both side is enclosed bythe building masses, e.g. study zone 0l shows highertemperature than other zones. Distant areas fromurban canyon like study zone 4 and 5 does not showsignificant temperature variation from it.

Relative Humidity: Relative humidity decreases withthe time from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the entire area.

Unlike the air temperature the parts of urban canyonwhere both side is enclosed by the building masses,e.g. study zone 0l shows lower relative humidity thanother zones. Distant areas from urban canyon likestudy zone 4 and 5 show slightly higher variation inrelative humidity from it.

Mean Radiant Temperature: Mean Radianttemperature increases with the time from 10 a.m. to 2p.m. in the entire area. But it varies in different zonesat 4 p.m., especially where the building heights arehigher and have comparatively dense tree canopy.Distant areas from urban canyon like study znne 4 and5 does not show significant variation in mean Radianttemperature from it. At 4 p.m., large show casting byhigher buildings and trees alongside the roads in zone2, 3 and 4 have impact in reduced mean radianttemperature.

Wind velocity: Wind velocity increases with the timefrom

_10 a.m. to 4 p.m, in the entire are4 qspecially in

.zone 2 and 3. Both of these zones are inside the uibancanyon and diagonal to the wind direction. The distantareas from urban canyon like Zone 4 and 5 showsnoticeable drop in wind velocity probably begause ofobstaclos like buildings and large trees. Lbrge field inthe study area have significant impact on windvelocity in entire area. Open space increases the flowof wind and maintain a moderate wind velocity in theurban canyon and its surrounding area. Anotherngtable finding is that, the wind velocity increaseswith the rise of air temperature in the study zones ofurban canyon like zone 2 and zone 3.

8. Conclusion

The study was intended to understand the impact ofurban canyon on the micro climate of the surroundingarea. From the outcome of simulation in ENVI-met, iIhas been observed that the urban canyon hassignificant impact in the Air temperature, Relativehumidity, Mean radiant temperature and Windvelocity of the adjacent area of it. But the data from adistance of approximately l00m from the urbancanyon shows slide changes in values from that of it.Therefore, it can be summarized that the distant areasfroy urtan canyon has relatively lower temperatureand higher humidity level, which makes thedifference. But, in reality the micro-climate in thedistant area form the urban canyon might have notableimpact, as the urban canyon is alwayi crowded withpedestrian traffic, fast moving cars, trafficconjunctions at nodes and consta4t change in windvelocity and radiant temperature.
