In order to continue to do a good job in the recruitment of master/doctor graduate students of TSINGHUA SIGS Institution for Ocean Engineering (IOE) , and promote college students to understand the relevant situation of the institute and the recruitment of master/doctor majors, the 2023 Enrollment seminar of IOE was successfully held in the form of online live broadcast on June 11, 2022. Professor Chen Daoyi and teachers from all disciplines attended the meeting, and I presided over the meeting.

At the meeting, Professor Chen Daoyi introduced the general situation of IOE. Associate Professor Li Yi, Professor Wang Yong, Professor Zheng Xiangyuan and MYSELF, assistant Professor Shen Xinwei introduced the major directions, teaching staff and training programs of electronic information, resources and environment, civil and hydraulic engineering and energy dynamics. Mr. Zhou Jin, Mr. Wang Enhao and other faculty members answered questions from students about their professional background, source institutions, enrollment quota and employment destination. In addition, Zhang Xiangyu, 2020 outstanding student representative of civil and hydraulic engineering, shared with you his study and life in TSINGHUA Institute of Deep Research and extended his best wishes.

More than 67,000 people participated in the event through China Education Online and B live broadcasting platform, which further expanded the influence of IOE and will also facilitate the smooth implementation of 2023 postgraduate enrollment.

Development of a micro-in-meso-scale framework for simulating pollutant dispersion and wind environment in building Groups has been published online in the Journal of Cleaner Production.

Simulation of pollutant dispersion and wind environment is of significant importance to the safety and health of pedestrians and residents. However, the high threshold of data collection and model configuration has hindered its application in the building industry. To address the problem, this paper proposes a Micro-in-Meso-scale (MiM) simulation framework for automatic and foolproof pollutant dispersion and wind environment simulation. The meso-scale Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model is first carried out to obtain city-level meteorology data with sufficient resolution. The micro-scale Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is then initialized to simulate pollutant dispersion and wind environment in building groups. The automatic simulation platform of pollutant dispersion and wind environment was further developed. The platform encapsulates the professional knowledge required for wind environment simulation and can realize automatic configuration of model parameters according to simulation scenarios. Platform users do not need to pay attention to the complicated numerical model configuration and operation details, just specify the simulation time and place, can get three-dimensional visualization results of building wind environment under given conditions, reduce the professional threshold involved in wind environment simulation.The research results were supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Marine Intelligent Sensing and Computing, and Shenzhen city planning and land resources committee.    

Note: Journal of Cleaner Production is an important SCI indexed journal in the field of environmental science and ecology, with an impact factor of 9.297 in 2021. The first author of this paper is Leng Shuo, a 2018 doctoral student in the Department of Civil Engineering of Tsinghua University. I am the corresponding author. Authors also include Assistant Professor Sun Wei Li, master student Wu Haoyang and Associate Professor Li Binbin at SIGS.
