A porous media model has been adopted to predict local urban climatological phenomena associated with sea and land winds. Buildings in the urban area are modeled as a collection of porous blocks of prescribed permeability and porosity. The numerical results reveal that the present model coupled with a turbulence model is capable of capturing general characteristics in the sea and land winds, and that the artificial heat generation should be taken into account for accurate prediction of the wind peak levels.
