Wind tunnel measurements of pollutant turbulent fluxes in urban intersections
Wind tunnel experiments have been carried out at the EnFlo laboratory to measure mean and turbulent tracer fluxes in geometries of real street canyon intersections. The work was part of the major DAPPLE project, focussing on the area surrounding the intersection between Marylebone Road and Gloucester Place in Central London, UK. Understanding flow and dispersion in urban streets is a very impor...
متن کاملThermally stratifying a wind tunnel for buoyancy influenced flows
A novel method of heating wind tunnel flows to strong thermal stratifications is described. Variable electric heating is employed to create user-selectable temperature profiles in steady, uniform mean flow. Linear temperature gradients of up to 200~ (V/iisfil~i frequencies of 2.5 rad s1) can be sustained. The performance of the facility is discussed in the context of continuouslystratified grid...
متن کاملGoogle-Earth Based Visualizations for Environmental Flows and Pollutant Dispersion in Urban Areas
In the present study, we address the development and application of an efficient tool for conversion of results obtained by an integrated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational reaction dynamics (CRD) approach and their visualization in the Google Earth. We focus on results typical for environmental fluid mechanics studies at a city scale that include characteristic wind flow patt...
متن کاملStudy of the Effects of Building Density and Overall Shape of a City on Pollutant Dispersion by Combination of Wind Tunnel Experiments and Cfd Simulations
Despite the improvement made in controlling local air pollution, urban areas are undergoing increasing environmental pressures and poor air quality is one of the major concerns. Recently, much attention has focused on the relationship between urban form and sustainability. There are indications that the density and the overall shape of cities can have implications on street level ventilation an...
متن کاملUnderstanding Dispersion of Nanoparticles in Vehicle Wakes Combining Field Measurements and Wind Tunnel Simulations
This work presents selected results of an EPSRC–funded project investigating the dispersion of nanoparticles in the wake of moving vehicles. The aims were to study the changes in particle number distribution (PND) due to the competing effects of dilution and transformation processes (e.g. coagulation, nucleation, condensation) over the travel time from tailpipe to roadside, and to model the fat...
