BenchmarkLabOn request
Hamburg wind-tunnel replica of the Mock Urban Setting Test container array, with flow statistics and dispersion; the main validation case of the COST 732 CFD best-practice guideline.

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.
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.
Time-resolved wind-tunnel velocity data built to validate LES: three approach boundary layers, flow and puff dispersion in a cube array, and the 1:225 idealised Central-European city Michelstadt with flat or slanted roofs.
The classic Hamburg validation database of wind-tunnel flow and concentration data with fully documented boundary conditions, for isolated obstacles, street canyons and obstacle arrays.
Wind-tunnel measurements of flow and dispersion over an idealised urban street system, from the DIPLOS project. Useful for validating LES and DNS of urban dispersion.
Physical-model data on flow and concentration for idealised urban geometries, from a project on rapid sensor deployment after outdoor chemical releases. Useful for dispersion and sensor-placement studies.
