Shaping the Wind: Nested Potentials for Kinematically Admissible Urban Wind Prediction

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.07033v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predicting transient urban winds is fundamental to understanding urban microclimates and designing climate-resilient cities. Building-resolving large-eddy simulation produces detailed incompressible urban wind fields at substantial computational cost for each layout. Neural surrogates offer a faster alternative by learning to predict the evolution of velocity fields. However, minimizing velocity prediction error does not guarantee local mass conser
