- Surface energy balance, face by face How uDALES resolves the energy budget on every roof, wall and pavement in an urban block — and how we read those outputs with the udbase Python tools.
- Wind in urban terrain Place rectangular buildings on a top-down city plan, rotate the wind direction, and watch the particle field show channelling, wakes, and stagnation zones.
