Short summary
A new code, portUrb, is described and validated. portUrb is an atmospheric simulation code for turbulent boundary layers including flow through urban areas. The model is coded with an emphasis on robustness, simplicity, readability, portable performance on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), and rapid prototyping of surrogate models through an ensemble capability where many different configurations can be run simultaneously to explore parameter choices.
