The Wind Flow Characteristics Measuring Simulations of Soundproof Tunnels on Expressways
Soundproof tunnels and soundproof walls constructed on expressways are designed to prevent noise for the nearby surrounding residential areas. These soundproof walls and tunnels feature excellent noise prevention for residential areas nearby, but they hamper the dispersion of air pollutants generated, thus promoting the creation of heat islands during summer and cold islands during winter.The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis method was used to investigate the wind flow around soundproof tunnels. The wind angle and the size of the wind velocity were determined using data from weather stations near soundproof tunnels. The CFD analysis results of the soundproof tunnels on expressways revealed that the wind velocity decreased by 30–60% following the installation of soundproof tunnels.
