Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Statistics
  • Thermodynamics

Meteorology, Wind tunnel, Atmospheric dispersion modeling, Mechanics and Computational fluid dynamics are his primary areas of study. He frequently studies issues relating to Dispersion and Meteorology. The concepts of his Wind tunnel study are interwoven with issues in Drag coefficient, Shear stress, Stress, Boundary layer and Flow.

Canyon is closely connected to Turbulence in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Flow. His Atmospheric dispersion modeling research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plume, Dispersion, Computer simulation and Applied mathematics. His Mechanics research includes themes of Roughness length and Classical mechanics.

His most cited work include:

  • A review of the characteristics of nanoparticles in the urban atmosphere and the prospects for developing regulatory controls (225 citations)
  • UK-ADMS: A new approach to modelling dispersion in the earth's atmospheric boundary layer (179 citations)
  • Flow over cube arrays of different packing densities (115 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Alan Robins mainly focuses on Wind tunnel, Meteorology, Mechanics, Atmospheric dispersion modeling and Turbulence. His research integrates issues of Computational fluid dynamics, Dispersion, Marine engineering, Wind direction and Scale model in his study of Wind tunnel. His Plume study in the realm of Meteorology interacts with subjects such as Local environment.

In general Mechanics, his work in Boundary layer, Vortex and Wake is often linked to Boundary linking many areas of study. As part of one scientific family, Alan Robins deals mainly with the area of Atmospheric dispersion modeling, narrowing it down to issues related to the Advection, and often Street network. His Turbulence research incorporates elements of Flow and Flow.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alan Robins mostly deals with Wind tunnel, Meteorology, Mechanics, Wind direction and Street network. He has researched Wind tunnel in several fields, including Computational fluid dynamics, Roof, Marine engineering, Turbulence and Ventilation. His Meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Airflow, Mathematical model and Boundary layer.

His work carried out in the field of Mechanics brings together such families of science as Plume and Dispersion. He has included themes like Atmospheric dispersion modeling, Geometry and Flow in his Wind direction study. His Street network study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Statistical dispersion and Advection.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • How tall buildings affect turbulent air flows and dispersion of pollution within a neighbourhood. (47 citations)
  • Influence of urban morphology on air flow over building arrays (45 citations)
  • Measurements and Computations of Flow in an Urban Street System (44 citations)
