In a downward dominated near-facade flow field, the presence of vertical envelope features forms dispersion channels to intensify the unidirectional spread. The large influences caused by the presence of envelope features extend the existing understanding of interunit dispersion based on flat-facade buildings. In general, the enhancing effect of the interunit dispersion due to the presence of vertical features still exists; the reentry ratios of the lower units, especially unit W2 are significantly increased. The basic influences of the presence of an upstream building and envelope features on the interunit dispersion are the same with those analyzed in previous section. This study examines the influence of the presence of an upstream building and envelope features on the natural ventilation performance and interunit dispersion of a multistory building using CFD method. ./cache/cord-014914-7w8qxs4w.txt ./txt/cord-014914-7w8qxs4w.txt
