Application of Computer Simulation Technology to Study the Impact of Water Mirror as a Contemporary Urban Elements on Environmental Behaviour in the Traditional Urban Areas

摘要

At present, many urban elements have been used in the traditional urban areas, in order to increase the efficiency of the environmental and functional performance of these areas. These elements have varied between urban furniture (such as a water spray fan), water mirrors and modern infrastructure and sanitation services. This study aims to study the impact of the one of these elements that can be used in the target case study (traditional Mosul city) which is a water mirror. To achieve the objectives of this study, Solene-microclimate will be used. This study concludes that the water mirror as a new type of waterscape effect reducing the surface temperature which consequently affects the microclimate around it in the Mosul City in Iraq.
