LES over RANS in building simulation for outdoor and indoor applications: A foregone conclusion?

Bert Blocken · 16 Jul 2018

Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) undeniably has the potential to provide more accurate and more reliable results than simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach. However, LES entails a higher simulation complexity and a much higher computational cost. In spite of some claims made in the past decades that LES would render RANS obsolete,…

Building Simulation template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Building Simulation format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Building Simulation template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Springer Nature format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Building Simulation use?
Building Simulation uses Superscript numbered (Nature) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. Building Simulation 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Building Simulation?
No. DocuGuru generates the sn-jnl LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Springer Nature-ready Building Simulation document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Building Simulation template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Building Simulation format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Building Simulation?
Building Simulation is a multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature. DocuGuru's Building Simulation template matches Springer Nature's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Building Simulation PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Building Simulation template (the sn-jnl class) that is ready to submit to Springer Nature, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Building Simulation template cost?
You can start writing in the Building Simulation template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Building Simulation PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
