This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students.Meteorology & climatologybicssc"cold spots""hot spots"ageingair and surface temperature measurementsair qualityair temperaturealbedoBeirutbuilding energy performancebuilding retrofitbuilding scalebuilt-up areacalculationclimatic perceptioncool facadescool materialscool pavementscool roofscool surfacescooling technologiescost-optimal analysisemissivityEMPIR 16NRM02empirical line methodenergy savingsenergy simulationENVI-metEurametfine-resolution meteorological modelinggenetic algorithmGISgreen areaheat healthheat stressland cover fractionland surface temperaturelifecycle analysislocal climate zoneluminance coefficientmaterial characterizationmeasurementmeteorological modelingmicro-climate simulationsmitigation measuresmitigation strategiesmobile temperature observationsMODIS downscalingmorphological indicatormulti-objective optimizationmultifractal analysismultiple linear regressionnon-constructible parcelsoffice buildingsopen scienceoutdoor thermal comfortoverheatingpark cool islandPhysiologically Equivalent Temperatureroad lightingroad surfaceshadingsky view factorsolar reflectancesolar reflectance indexspectral analysisspectral reflectancestructure functions analysissubtropical climatesummer heat stresssurface albedosurface cool island effectsustainabilitythermal comfortthermal emittanceurban areasurban climateurban climate archipelagourban climatologyurban coolingurban developmenturban energy balanceurban heat islandurban heat island indexurban heat mitigationurban microclimateurban morphologyurban open spaceurban overheatingurban remote sensingurban vegetationurban-climate archipelagourbanizationurbanized WRFWeather Research and Forecasting modelWeather Research and Forecasting model (WRF)WRF-ChemMeteorology & climatologySantamouris Matheosauth1296331Zinzi MicheleauthBOOK9910346835803321Urban Overheating - Progress on Mitigation Science and Engineering Applications3024009UNINA04694nam 22006135 450 991033825010332120200630145646.03-030-15545-510.1007/978-3-030-15545-2(CKB)4100000008153976(MiAaPQ)EBC5771569(DE-He213)978-3-030-15545-2(PPN)236522450(EXLCZ)99410000000815397620190509d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierQuantitative Stochastic Homogenization and Large-Scale Regularity /by Scott Armstrong, Tuomo Kuusi, Jean-Christophe Mourrat1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (548 pages)Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, A Series of Comprehensive Studies in Mathematics,0072-7830 ;3523-030-15544-7 Preface -- Assumptions and examples -- Frequently asked questions -- Notation -- Introduction and qualitative theory -- Convergence of the subadditive quantities -- Regularity on large scales -- Quantitative description of first-order correctors -- Scaling limits of first-order correctors -- Quantitative two-scale expansions -- Calderon-Zygmund gradient L^p estimates -- Estimates for parabolic problems -- Decay of the parabolic semigroup -- Linear equations with nonsymmetric coefficients -- Nonlinear equations -- Appendices: A.The O_s notation -- B.Function spaces and elliptic equations on Lipschitz domains -- C.The Meyers L^{2+\delta} estimate -- D. Sobolev norms and heat flow -- Parabolic Green functions -- Bibliography -- Index.The focus of this book is the large-scale statistical behavior of solutions of divergence-form elliptic equations with random coefficients, which is closely related to the long-time asymptotics of reversible diffusions in random media and other basic models of statistical physics. Of particular interest is the quantification of the rate at which solutions converge to those of the limiting, homogenized equation in the regime of large scale separation, and the description of their fluctuations around this limit. This self-contained presentation gives a complete account of the essential ideas and fundamental results of this new theory of quantitative stochastic homogenization, including the latest research on the topic, and is supplemented with many new results. The book serves as an introduction to the subject for advanced graduate students and researchers working in partial differential equations, statistical physics, probability and related fields, as well as a comprehensive reference for experts in homogenization. Being the first text concerned primarily with stochastic (as opposed to periodic) homogenization and which focuses on quantitative results, its perspective and approach are entirely different from other books in the literature. .Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, A Series of Comprehensive Studies in Mathematics,0072-7830 ;352Differential equations, PartialProbabilitiesMathematical physicsCalculus of variationsPartial Differential Equationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12155Probability Theory and Stochastic Processeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimizationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M26016Differential equations, Partial.Probabilities.Mathematical physics.Calculus of variations.Partial Differential Equations.Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes.Mathematical Physics.Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control; Optimization.515.35515.353Armstrong Scottauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut781700Kuusi Tuomoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMourrat Jean-Christopheauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910338250103321Quantitative Stochastic Homogenization and Large-Scale Regularity2525717UNINA
