 Figure 11: Snapshot of the absolute value of the 3-D rotation vector of the velocity field above a forest canopy downstream of a grassland-to-forest transition (forest volume marked by green isosurface). Pink and yellow colors illustrate strong and weak turbulence, respectively. A neutrally-stratified open-channel flow was simulated with the mean flow direction from left to right, i.e. perpendicular to the windward forest edge, using an equidistant grid spacing of 3 m. The figure shows only a subregion of the simulation domain (2 x 1 x 0.4 km^3^).

-The detailed simulations of a complex environment e.g. of urban areas require modelling of the plant canopy (PC) in detail of the individual treetops. The PIDS allows to initialize model PALM-4U with arbitrary structure of the plant canopy leave area density (LAD) and basal area density (BAD). This allows to describe the complete 3D structure of individual trees and shrubs as well as the structure of tree clusters.
