Title of the course/domaine/keywordMeteorlogy/ Turbulent structures in atmospheric boundary layers over urban canopies: Large-Eddy Simulations with a drag-force model and wind tunnel experiments
Explanatory textThe goal of this study is to assess the ability of Large-Eddy Simulations using a drag-force model to reproduce the dynamics of the turbulent structures present in atmospheric boundary layers over urban canopies. This will rely on comparisons between simulations and wind tunnel experiments and the development of analysis tools.
