Parallelization of an Urban Microscale Flow Model (urbanSTREAM): Component 1 of CRTI Project 02-0093RD

Abstract

The provision of an efficient and accurate Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver for simulating flows within an urban complex on the microscale (with characteristic length scale extending to about1-2 km) is required to support the development of an advanced atmospheric transport and diffusion multiscale modeling system for hazard assessment of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear(CBRN) agents released within cities. The ultimate goal of this supporting effort is to construct a virtual test facility (VTF) that could eventually be used to develop guidelines and procedures for operating in the urban complex after a CBRN incident.
