Construction and configuration of convection-powered asphalt solar collectors for the reduction of urban temperatures

In this paper, an analysis of a convection-powered asphalt solar collector prototype is approached by the means of experimental trials and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in order to evaluate how to optimise its design for the reduction of high urban pavement temperatures. Since the e...
