  • 分两阶段:先分块预测,再用上下文修复边界不连续
  • 在未见城市形态上复现平均风速与空间变化,峰值风速略低估
  • 适合城市规划快速风舒适性评估,计算效率远高于传统模拟

行人尺度风速预测对城市设计和风舒适性评估至关重要,但高精度模拟如大涡模拟(LES)计算成本高,难以快速评估。本研究提出一种两阶段U-Net框架,用于高效预测真实城市形态下的平均行人风速。模型基于UrbanTALES数据集训练与评估,涵盖不同来风方向的真实城市配置。第一阶段采用基础U-Net模型(M1),根据归一化建筑高度和来流距离信息分块预测风场,可处理任意大小城市区域,但块间独立推断易产生边界不连续。为解决此问题,引入第二阶段基于修补的修正模型(M2),利用包含初始预测结果和局部形态的大上下文窗口,通过邻近流场信息减少边界伪影。全域推理时,采用高斯-赛德尔迭代法反复应用M2直至收敛。结果显示,M1能捕捉风速主要空间分布,在低中速区表现良好,但高速峰区精度不足;M2显著降低块边界伪影,提升空间一致性。在未见城市案例中,该框架合理再现平均风速与空间变异性,最大风速仍存在低估。整体而言,该框架为真实城市形态下高分辨率行人风速预测提供了高效灵活的代理模型。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Pedestrian-level wind prediction is essential for urban design and wind-comfort assessment, but high-fidelity simulations such as LES remain computationally expensive for rapid evaluation. This study develops a two-stage U-Net framework for efficient prediction of time-averaged pedestrian-level wind speed over realistic urban morphologies. The model is trained and evaluated using the UrbanTALES dataset, which contains realistic city configurations under different approaching wind directions. In the first stage, a baseline U-Net model (M1) predicts wind fields patch-by-patch from normalised building height and fetch information. This formulation allows application to urban domains of arbitrary size, but independent patch inference can introduce discontinuities at patch boundaries. To address this, a second U-Net model (M2) is introduced as an inpainting-based refinement model. M2 uses a larger contextual window containing the initial M1 prediction and local morphology to reduce discontinuities using neighbouring flow information. During full-field inference, M2 is applied iteratively using a Gauss-Seidel scheme until convergence. Results show that M1 captures the main spatial distribution of pedestrian-level wind speed and performs well in low- and moderate-velocity regions, although high-velocity peaks are less accurate. M2 substantially reduces patch-boundary artefacts and improves spatial coherence. Across unseen urban cases, the framework reproduces mean velocity and spatial variability reasonably well, while maximum velocities remain underestimated. Overall, the proposed framework provides an efficient and flexible surrogate model for high-resolution pedestrian-level wind prediction across realistic urban morphologies.
