Pollutant Dispersion in a Developing Valley Cold - Air Pool
Pollutants are trapped and accumulate within cold-air pools, thereby affecting air 5 quality. A numerical model is used to quantify the role of cold-air-pooling processes in 6 the dispersion of air pollution in a developing cold-air pool within an alpine valley under 7 decoupled stable conditions. Results indicate that the negatively buoyant downslope flows 8 transport and mix pollutants into t...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), infestation and dispersal in a high-rise apartment building.
Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius L. (Hemiptera: Cimicidae), are a fast-growing urban pest of significant public health importance in the United States and many other countries. Yet, there is very little field research on the ecology of this pest due to its near absence in the United States and most developed nations for several decades. We investigated characteristics of the bed bug infestation and ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution pollutant dispersion modelling in contaminated coastal sites.
The recent developments in pollutant measurement methods and techniques necessitate improvements in modelling approaches. The models used so far have been based on seasonally averaged data, which is insufficient for making short-term predictions. We have improved the existing modelling tools for pollutant transport and dispersion on three levels. We significantly refined the numerical grid; we ...
متن کاملLarge-Eddy Simulation of pollutant dispersion around a cubical building: analysis of the turbulent mass transport mechanism by unsteady concentration and velocity statistics.
Pollutant transport due to the turbulent wind flow around buildings is a complex phenomenon which is challenging to reproduce with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). In the present study we use Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) to investigate the turbulent mass transport mechanism in the case of gas dispersion around an isolated cubical building. Close agreement is found between wind-tunnel measurem...
متن کاملThe dispersion characteristics of air pollution from world's megacities
This discussion paper is/has been under review for the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP). Please refer to the corresponding final paper in ACP if available. Abstract Megacities are extreme examples of the continuously growing urbanization of human population that pose (new) challenges to the environment and human health at a local scale. However, because of their size megacities a...
