Description

This dataset contains the first part of a series of wind-tunnel flow measurements in a 1:200 scale model of a part of the London Borough of Southwark. The data published here accompanies analyses in Hertwig et al. (2019):

D. Hertwig, H.L. Gough, S. Grimmond, J.F. Barlow, C.W. Kent, W.E. Lin, A.G. Robins, P. Hayden (2019), "Wake Characteristics of Tall Buildings in a Realistic Urban Canopy", Boundary-Layer Meteorology, DOI: 10.1007/s10546-019-00450-7.

Flow measurements (based on 2D Laser Doppler Anemometry) were carried out in the boundary-layer wind-tunnel facility of the Environmental Flow (EnFlo) Research Centre, University of Surrey, UK, using the EPSRC MAGIC project model domain and scale model (Song et al., 2018).
