Sina presented at CESBP2025 in Budapest!
Sina presented “Comparative Modeling of Urban Microclimate and Outdoor Thermal Comfort: A Case Study of Georgia Tech Campus.” We benchmarked the OpenFOAM-based urbanMicroclimateFoam (UMCF) against ENVI-met using on-campus measurements, and found that UMCF reproduced the diurnal temperature/humidity cycles more faithfully and did so with substantially shorter runtimes (≈8h vs ≈52h in our setup). These results strengthen confidence in high-resolution CFD for campus-scale design and feed directly into our Outdoor+ workflow in Eddy3D.
