Dataset for: Simulating The Urban Canopy's Impact on Wind-Driven Natural Ventilation
View DatasetDescription
This dataset was created from coupled indoor-outdoor large eddy simulations (LES) of flow through an idealized urban canopy, as described in the paper "Simulating The Urban Canopy's Impact on Wind-Driven Natural Ventilation". The dataset includes two main files: flowStatsMI.csv provides per-window quantities including ventilation rates and scalar (temperature/tracer) fluxes; roomVentilationMI.csv provides per-room quantities including aggregated window statistics, volume-averaged quantities (e.g., temperature, tracer decay), and surface fluxes (e.g., temperature flux from the ceiling). Together, these datasets offer a detailed characterization of wind-driven natural ventilation across various parameterizations, varying wind conditions, canopy densities, and indoor-outdoor temperature differences. Across these wind and canopy parameterizations, we measure ventilation through single-sided, cross, corner, and dual-room ventilation scenarios. Additionally, all these ventilation conditions were run with and without skylights. The included README.md fully documents all quantities in the dataset.
