The urban heat island phenomenon in large cities is becoming increasingly serious as urbanization continues to develop, seriously affecting the lives of urban residents. Rivers can effectively alleviate urban heat islands and improve the thermal comfort of riverfront space in summer. Thus, the effect of rivers on the urban microclimate environment is studied in this work. A section of the Fu River in the inland city of Chengdu was selected as the research object, and a combination of experimental and numerical simulation methods was employed. ENVI-met software was used to study the river’s influence on the air temperature, relative air humidity, and the thermal comfort of the riverfront space. The measured experimental parameters are first used to verify the accuracy of the ENVI-met software simulation results, which are then employed to carry out simulation research. The simulation results suggest that the different types of underlying surfaces have varying impacts on the air temperature and relative air humidity. Rivers have a significant cooling effect on the regional thermal environment, and roads have a warming effect on the air temperature. The order of influence of different underlying surfaces on air temperature is as follows: rivers > roads > trees. Rivers have an obvious humidifying effect on the air, and roads have little effect on relative air humidity. The order of influence of different underlying surfaces on relative air humidity is as follows: rivers > trees > roads. The results of the outdoor predicted mean vote (PMV) reveal that rivers, trees, and green plants can effectively improve the comfort of individuals downwind.

With the improvement of people’s living standards, they have higher requirements for indoor thermal comfort in the cold season. Solar wall utilizing solar energy for heating can reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality. In the aspect of solar wall research, the influence of wall structure on the thermal performance of double-channel porous solar wall is limitedly investigated. In fact, the optimization design of wall structure is important for the thermal performance of solar wall and its applications. Therefore, a simplified three dimensional room model is built to study the influence of the wall structure on the thermal performance of porous solar wall by numerical simulation. With this model, different channel spacing and thickness of porous walls were used to determine the optimal design for a double-channel porous solar wall in terms of enhancing the heat storage. Moreover, the influence of the surface emissivity on the characteristics of heating and temperature field of double-channel porous solar wall are studied based on the optimal structure. The CFD simulation results indicate that the optimal structure parameters should include spacing of 0.08 m for channel 1, the porous wall thickness should be 0.08 m, and the air channel 2 spacing should be 0.06 m. The temperature of air channel 1 and air channel 2, the indoor temperature, and the heat storage of porous wall decrease with the increase of the surface emissivity of the porous wall. In order to improve the heat storage performance of double-channel porous solar wall, the outer surface of the porous wall should use a lower emissivity material. The outer surface emissivity of porous wall has a significant impact on the heat storage of the porous wall and little effect on the thermal storage wall. The temperature of porous wall is always higher than that of outdoor environment temperature.
