| Abstract |
In order to predict the dispersion of harmful materials released in or near an urban environment, it is important to first understand the complex flow patterns which result from the interaction of the wind with buildings and, more commonly, clusters of buildings. Recent advances in the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to such problems have shown great promise, but there is a need for high-quality data with which to evaluate CFD models. This study was performed to fill that need for a limited range of conditions. High-resolution measurements of the three coponenets of the mean and turbulent velocity statistics were obtained around a 2-D array of model buildings in the USEPA meteorological wind tunnel. In this paper, we briefly review prior field and laboratory experiments on building flows, describe our experimental set-up and measurement apparatus, present the flow measurements, and discuss their significance in relation to current understanding. |
