Description

This dataset contains Part II of a series of wind-tunnel flow measurements in a 1:200 scale model of a part of the London Borough of Southwark. Part I of the dataset is also published on Zenodo. The data published here (Part II) accompanies analyses in Hertwig et al. (2020):

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).
