The aim of that experimental campaign was to evaluate the potential of natural ventilation in the urban environment on the one hand and to better understand the air flow and thermal phenomena in deep urban canyons. The mechanism of the air flow and temperature distribution inside the canyon is extensively analysed in that paper and the specific phenomena that determine the wind speed and direction inside the canyon are described in details.
