LES of hurricane boundary-layer turbulence over complex urban canopies
Simulation81 MB
Processed LES output and Python post-processing scripts for hurricane boundary-layer turbulence over complex urban canopies using an immersed boundary method.
Large-eddy simulations of turbulent airflow over 314 realistic urban neighbourhoods from 62 cities in 20 countries, with plan-area densities from 0.05 to 0.75 and several wind directions. Provides canopy-averaged statistics and flow fields, which are useful for canopy parameterisation, model validation and machine learning of urban wind.
224 large-eddy simulations of flow over idealised building-block arrays. They systematically vary plan-area density (8 values, 0.0625 to 0.64), aligned and staggered layouts, 7 building-height distributions, and perpendicular or oblique wind. A parameter sweep for canopy parameterisation and model validation.
