Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | Wind tunnel and advanced computational methods (LES and DNS) agree well for the flow through a large, regular array of obstacles at a range of inclinations to the oncoming wind. Effects of a single large obstacle within the array have been characterised and shown to be substantial. This has been a factor in developing research concerning the impact of tall buildings (isolated or in groups) on boundary layer and dispersion characteristics. |
| Exploitation Route | Data used by third parties for dispersion model validation; e.g. at dstl Porton Down |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Environment |
| Description | Data from wind tunnel studies is being used to evaluate the performance of the dstl UDM dispersion model and led to further work with dstl (Porton Town). |
