CUBE: stereo PIV and surface pressure around an idealised cubic building
LabOn request
Stereo PIV and surface pressure measurements around an idealised cubic building with and without vertical openings, under high- and low-shear boundary-layer inflow. Useful for validating near-building flow and ventilation simulations.
