Validation study of the experience Mock Urban Setting Test

The study presented in this paper includes a comparison, and a statistical validation. The results that are obtained by a numerical simulation in CHENSI Code are compared with the experimental results that are taken from an experimental wind tunnel study of field experience Mock Urban Setting Test. The wind tunnel measurements within a scaled model (1:75) of that configuration were carried out at the University of Hamburg. We focus only on main wind direction (0° and -45°) which correspond to those cases selected within the COST 732 Action. The work is to exploit the experimental data obtained from the wind tunnel results of the University of Hamburg and those of the numerical simulation. The purpose of this study was to compare and statistical validation of CHENSI code. Numerical results presented in this study in the mean flow field, turbulent kinetic energy and the concentration field. To compare, objectively, the performance of the model withexperimental data, statistical indicators proposed by Chang and Hanna [1]were calculated for different measurement points. Note; however, that the model results are in a very good agreement with experimental measurements. Received 20Dec2016, Revised 17 Jan 2017, Accepted 23Jan 2017
