Abstract

uDALES: large-eddy-simulation software for urban flow, dispersion, and microclimate modelling

Highlights

  • Challenges associated with the urban environment such as air quality, heat islands, pedestrian thermal comfort, and wind loads on tall buildings, are increasingly relevant

  • The turbulent nature of the urban flow field and the inherent heterogeneity and wide range of scales associated with the urban environment result in a complex modelling problem

  • Large-eddy simulation (LES) is an approach to turbulence modelling used in computational fluid dynamics to simulate turbulent flows over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales

Summary

Introduction

Challenges associated with the urban environment such as air quality, heat islands, pedestrian thermal comfort, and wind loads on tall buildings, are increasingly relevant. The turbulent nature of the urban flow field and the inherent heterogeneity and wide range of scales associated with the urban environment result in a complex modelling problem.
