Predicting infrequent and extreme wind speeds in a built environment is essential for
ensuring comfortable and safe pedestrian spaces. Recent studies have employed statistical …

Large-eddy simulations (LES) are conducted to study the transport of momentum and
passive scalar within and over a real urban canopy in the City of Boston, USA. This urban …

In this study, a series of large-eddy simulations are conducted to explore the dynamics of
turbulence within the urban canopy. Two idealized urban-like geometries (staggered and …

We describe and explain the turbulent processes at play in the lower part of the urban
boundary layer through performing a large-eddy simulation of the flow over an urban-like …

In this article we describe the details of an ABLE-LBM (Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Environment-Lattice Boltzmann Model) validation study for urban building array turbulent …

This work details the assessment of the performance of the drag-porosity model
implemented in ARPS (Advanced Regional Prediction System) atmospheric Large-Eddy …

Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) provides capabilities to measure three velocity
components across three-dimensional fields of view without the need for optical …

Atmospheric dispersion in urban environments is highly complex, and a fundamental
understanding requires a combination of field tests, laboratory experiments, and simulations …

Three dimensional velocity fields and contaminant dispersion within an evenly spaced
orthogonal array of cubic buildings (height= H) with a central tall building (height= 3H) were …

The dynamics of a turbulent boundary layer developing over a cube array is investigated
based on stereoscopic PIV measurements performed in a boundary layer wind tunnel. The …
