Development and Application of a Reactive Plume-in-grid Model: Evaluation over Greater Paris
نویسندگان
چکیده
Classical air quality models at regional scale, based on Eulerian gridded approaches, suffer from several limitations when applied to the dispersion of elevated point emissions (e.g. from power plant stacks). In particular, emissions from point sources are assumed to mix immediately within a grid cell, whereas a typical point-source plume does not expand to the size of the grid cell for a substantial time period. In addition, the incorrect representation of concentrations within the plume leads to a poor estimation of the chemical reaction rates, in the case of reactive plumes. The plume-in-grid method is a multiscale modeling technique that couples a Gaussian puff model with an Eulerian model in order to better represent these emissions. We present the reactive plume-in-grid model developed in the air quality modeling system Polyphemus, and its evaluation for photochemical applications. The chosen application domain is the Ile-de-France region, during six months (summer 2001). There were 89 major point sources selected for the subgrid-scale treatment. Comparisons are made between the results with the Eulerian model alone, and with the plume-in-grid treatment. The analysis is based both on global results for the whole period, and on a few selected days of interest. A sensitivity study is also carried out, especially to point out the influence of the local-scale parameterizations.

and model’s scores The RMSE improvement presented in the abstract corresponds to the RMSE on stations, given in Section 4. We agree that the model’s performance cannot be summarized by this mild improvement, and we should insist more on the better representation of the spatial variability. As the reviewer states, the results for NO in terms of total RMSE are “surprisingly low” when given in the...

Traditional Eulerian air quality models are unable to accurately simulate sub-grid scale processes, such as the near-source transport and chemistry of point source plumes, because they assume instantaneous mixing of the emitted pollutants within the grid cell containing the release, and neglect the turbulent segregation effects that limit the near-source mixing of emitted pollutants with the ba...

Plume-in-grid (PinG) models incorporating a host Eulerian model and a subgrid-scale model (usually a Gaussian plume or puff model) have been used for the simulations of stack emissions (e.g., fossil fuel-fired power plants and cement plants) for gaseous and particulate species such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM) and mercury (Hg). Here, we describe the ex...
