How to simulate Urban Environment with buildings and trees in OpenFOAM
 

Dear All,

I am a new user of OpenFOAM and I would like to learn how to simulate Urban Environment with buildings and trees in OpenFOAM. Im a student working on the role of obstacles on windflow.

Please help!

Hi,
there are various threads on CFD-online (even explicitly on OF)
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...an-design.html

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...banAreaNiigata
http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ma...ngInCityBlocks

search for "wind energy", "terrain" or "urban"

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html

there is a good thread on Askervein Hill and a thesis with lots of material

I do not know if http://www.forwind.de/sowe/Site/Home.html =>"Symposium on OpenFOAM in Wind Energy" was a success

you can also look @ "OF workshop" material / presentations http://www.openfoamworkshop2013.org/ http://www.openfoamworkshop2013.org/...p?Main=1&sub=2

Thank You, These would be very useful
