Zhihua Wang completed his bachelor's and master's degrees and later worked as a researcher in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Prior to joining ASU, he worked with Professors Elie Bou-Zeid and Jim Smith in Enviromental Engineering and Water Resarch (EEWR) program in Princeton University. Wang is an active member of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), American Physical Society (APS), American Geophysical Union (AGU) and International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC).
Wang is an associate professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment at Arizona State University. His research interests include multiscale urban climate modeling, land-atmospheric interactions, landscape and infrastructure management, urban environmental sustainability study and energy efficiency analysis.
Dr Zhihua Wang's research primarily focuses on the urban environment under the changing climate, including land-atmosphere interactions, subsurface heat/water transport, mitigation of urban heat island effect and the long-term sustainability of cities.
We conduct both field measurements and numerical modeling to investigate the physics of flow and the transport of energy in urban canopy layers. Field measurements consist of deployment of a sensor network with a wide range of sensing instruments, including the eddy-covariance tower, wireless micrometeorological stations, the scintillometer, the SODAR system and other sensors. It is aimed to provide long term monitoring of the urban environment in the developing urban areas of the great Phoenix area.
Multi-scale multi-physics numerical modeling is developed as a powerful tool to tackle urban environmental problems, ranging from local (~10-100 m) to neighborhood (~ 1 km) to meso (~100 km) scales. The integrated model also embraces a variety of physical components: the boundary-layer meteorology in canopy layers, the subsurface transport of heat and water, the mesoscale atmospheric dynamics and the building energy system. Coupling of different scales and interaction of different physics requires a dedicated research effort.
Stochastic simulations are also involved in quantifying the important physics in numerical models, using Monte Carlo techniques. A perspective research area will be using Stochastic Langrangian modeling for the dispersion of pollutant in urban areas, as well as to investigate the footprints of field measurements.
