Planting pedestrian trees in urban building areas can not only upgrade the landscape of the territories but affect the local micro-meteorology and lead to improvements of wind environment. The study is to investigate the wind reduction effect behind row trees so as to gain additional insight into the related landscape tree design. At the beginning, three typicaltree species with different clown densities are selected and the corresponding tree models are made. The wind speed profiles downstream of trees are measured and used as the basis to calibrate the corresponding characteristic clown parameters. After the numerical model is determined, a series of numerical computations are further performed in real prototype scales by varying the tree height and tree distance. The results of the wind field at the pedestrian level are then analyzed on a systematic basis to analyze quantitatively the effect of wind reduction and to assess the associated row-tree design principles.
