Abstract
⺠Two CFD-RANS models are validated against boundary-layer wind tunnel data. ⺠The test case is novel in terms of the degree of idealization of the urban canopy. ⺠Validation metrics and pointwise tests reveal model strengths and limitations. ⺠Unsteadiness of the urban flow is regarded as a major cause of discrepancies. ⺠The number of test points is crucial for a robust measure of the model performance.
