2^nd Microscale Modelling Workshop 16th December 2003
Weetwood Hall, (map) , University of Leeds
(approx 9:00am to 3:30pm)

Aim
To maximise discussions on future developments of the microscale model.

Objectives
The objectives of this workshop are to discuss current developments, grid structures, pressure solvers, current achievements, short term plans, discussion of other relevant approaches, and future developments.

Background
See http://www.uwern.ac.uk/uwern/microscale for microscale project details and for:-

.. 1st Workshop summary
.. Progress ,as described in the UWERN newsletter
.. Surface scale / Building Scale / Urban Environment developments
.. Weetwood map from Leeds centre and Weetwood home page

Travel Details
Weetwood Hall is ~ 5 miles North of leeds railway station. Buses numbers 1 and 96, which leave from near the station can take you there. The bus stop is called "Lawnswood School", (now closed down!) ... or "The stop before the Ring Road" or "Weetwood Hall". I will also provide transport to Weetwood from the station (location: picking up point, NOT the taxi stand, but between 17:00 and 18:45 will be too difficult). See details at the end of the web page. Taxis to Weetwood should cost about £7. Transport to the station on Tuesday will be provided.
