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.
Boundary-layer wind tunnel surface pressure measurements on parametric low-rise prismatic buildings. Useful for wind load studies and model validation.
WindEEE wind-field and aerodynamic pressure data for a CAARC high-rise building in atmospheric boundary layer and downburst-like flows. Useful for wind-load validation.
Non-stationary pressure and velocity measurements on a low-rise duo-pitch building model in the WindEEE Dome under ABL, downburst and combined winds. Useful for wind-load studies of non-synoptic winds.
Full-scale surface pressure and velocity measurements on the 6 m Silsoe cube in natural wind, with wind-tunnel comparisons. Used as the CWE2000 validation case for CFD; time series and compiled means and variances are available.
