Description
uDALES 
This is the development repository for uDALES, capable of performing large-eddy simulation (LES) of urban airflow, heat transfer, and pollutant dispersion. It contains the uDALES software source-code, tests, documentation, and examples with tools to pre- and post-process inputs and outputs. For user guides, tutorials, general reference documentation and publications, please visit the uDALES website.
