720 time-mean lattice-Boltzmann LES cases at 10 m resolution, 144 per city, spanning 16 wind directions, 3 reference speeds and 3 seasonal profiles, with 3D mean velocity and TKE plus building, terrain and footprint geometry. Very large (about 25 TB).
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.
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.
