Improvement of k-epsilon turbulence model for CFD simulation of atmospheric boundary layer around a high-rise building using stochastic optimization and Monte Carlo sampling technique

The accuracy of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the airflow around the buildings in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) is directly linked to the utilized turbulence model. Despite the popularity and their low computational cost, the current Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) mo...
