The course focuses on the modelling of winds and dispersion around 3D city models. The goal is to further the students experience in geomatics knowledge by learning tools with direct application to real urban scenarios. The course covers the necessary fundamentals of fluid dynamics and computational fluid dynamics methodologies to perform simulations in urban environments.
After the course the student is able to:
1) Understand the fundamental requirements for wind and dispersion simulations;
2) Perform data requirement analysis for the modelled phenomenon starting from (but not limited to) a semantic 3D city model;
3) Apply the acquired knowledge to set up and run a correct simulation environment to analyze wind and dispersion in an urban area;
4) Gather and analyse the simulation results, and make them available for further applications.
