Large-eddy simulation (LES) datasets of urban flow
Output from large-eddy simulations of flow, heat and pollutant transport over idealised building arrays and real neighbourhoods. LES resolves the energetic turbulent eddies, so these datasets typically provide instantaneous and time-averaged fields, turbulence statistics and canopy-averaged profiles; many include the geometry and input files needed to rerun them.
