Dataset of microscale atmospheric flow and pollutant concentration large-eddy simulations for varying mesoscale meteorological forcing in an idealized urban environmentZenodo by Eliott Lumet, Thomas Jaravel, Mélanie C. Rochoux

“…Assessing these risks requires the development of microscale meteorological models that quickly and accurately predict wind velocity and pollutant concentration with high resolution, as the heterogeneity of urban environments leads to complex wind patterns and strong pollutant concentration gradients. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has emerged as a powerful tool to address this challenge by providing obstacle-resolved flow and dispersion predictions. …”
