1:400 wind-tunnel model with uniform and non-uniform roof heights at 90° and 45° wind: LDA velocities and fast-FID concentrations quantifying pollutant exchange through canyon tops and lateral openings, packaged as a CFD validation case.
Urban Dispersion Program field studies in 2005: two intensive periods around Madison Square Garden (March) and six in Midtown (August) with up to seven perfluorocarbon and SF6 tracers, street-level and rooftop samplers, sonic anemometers and sodars, plus indoor and subway sampling in MID05.
Project on human-centred building design combining field, CFD and physical-model studies of urban flow and ventilation. Data release is pending; contact the project for access.
A real-city SF6 field release sampled at 20 detectors, plus wind-tunnel pedestrian-level concentration time series for continuous and puff releases in a model of the same downtown.
Field and physical-model measurements of wind-driven air infiltration into a building near the DAPPLE site in London. Useful for studying how the urban environment affects building ventilation.
The Architectural Institute of Japan (AIJ) urban wind environment benchmark suite: wind-tunnel and field data for cases A–M, from a single high-rise building and cube arrays to real districts such as Shinjuku and Niigata, many with STL geometry. Widely used to validate CFD for pedestrian-level wind and dispersion.
