BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINE FOR THE CFD SIMULATION OF FLOWS IN THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT: QUALITY ASSURANCE AND IMPROVEMENT OF MICROSCALE METEOROLOGICAL MODELS

Abstract

The main objective of the COST Action 732 is the improvement and qualityassurance of micro-scale obstacle-accommodating meteorological models and theirapplication to the prediction of flow and transport processes in urban or industrialenvironments. This report contains the full best practice guidelines for undertaking simulations that areused to evaluate microscale obstacle-accommodating meteorological modelsSummaries of this report have been published as the following documents : Franke, J., Hellsten, A., Schlunzen, H.
