Abstract
⺠Solar radiation induced buoyancy plays an important role in urban street canyons. ⺠Wind tunnel measurements are conducted for a 1:1:9 cavity with heated surfaces. ⺠Time averaged turbulent kinetic energy and velocity fields are measured with PIV. ⺠For low freestream velocities the flow field significantly changes due to buoyancy. ⺠The flow field is influenced most if the windward façade is heated.
