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.
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.
2D PIV wind-tunnel data of turbulent boundary layers over twelve urban roughnesses with different frontal and plan solidities. Useful for studying turbulence statistics and parameterising urban roughness.
Wind-tunnel measurements of near-wall flow over urban-like roughness, including form drag and roughness sublayer behaviour. Useful for rough-wall boundary-layer studies and surface parameterisation.
Turbulent inflow data of a rough atmospheric boundary layer for LES of Michelstadt, the semi-idealised Central European city model from the University of Hamburg wind-tunnel test cases (CEDVAL-LES), not the real town.
