Large Eddy Simulation of Unstably Stratified Turbulent Flow over Urban-Like Building Arrays

Thermal instability induced by solar radiation is the most common condition of urban atmosphere in daytime. Compared to researches under neutral conditions, only a few numerical works studied the unstable urban boundary layer and the effect of buoyancy force is unclear. In this paper, unstably strat...
