This study examines the influence of trees on urban microclimate, specifically focusing on the breathability and turbulence within urban canyons. Utilizing a simplified two-dimensional street canyon model with tree-like elements, we investigate air flow interactions influenced by both buoyancy-driven and inertial forces, using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements.
