Building downwash large eddy simulations

This data set is associated with the results found in the journal article: Foroutan et al, 2018. Numerical analysis of pollutant dispersion around elongated buildings: an embedded large eddy simulation approach. Atmospheric Environment, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2018.05.053. The objective of the paper is to employ a scale-resolving turbulence model, namely the embedded LES (ELES), to study near-field pollutant dispersion around elongated/rotated buildings. It includes the evaluation of the ELES performance against wind tunnel measurements, as well as the analysis of the computational results for various source-building geometries while emphasizing the aspects important for dispersion modeling.

This dataset is associated with the following publication: Foroutan, H., W. Tang, D. Heist, S. Perry, L. Brouwer, and E. Monbureau. Numerical analysis of pollutant dispersion around elongated buildings: An embedded large eddy simulation approach. ATMOSPHERIC ENVIRONMENT. Elsevier Science Ltd, New York, NY, USA, 187: 117-130, (2018).
