Particle Concentration Distribution under Idling Conditions in a Residential Underground Garage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Particles exhausted from cars have adverse impacts on human health. The study developed a three-dimensional particle dispersion numerical model including particle coagulation to simulate the particle concentration distribution under idling conditions in a residential underground garage. The simulation results demonstrate that particle disperses much faster in the vertical direction than that in horizontal direction. The enhancement of particle dispersion in the vertical direction due to the increase of cars with engine running is much stronger than that in the car exhaust direction. Particle dispersion from each pair of adjacent cars has little influence on each other in the study. Average particle concentration after 120 seconds exhaust is 1.8-4.5 times higher than the initial total particles at ambient environment. Particle pollution in the residential underground garage is severe. Keywords—Dispersion, Idling conditions, Particle concentration, Residential underground garage.

Carbon Monoxide Measuring in the University Garages
Carbon monoxide (CO) is generally regarded as a critical indicator of air pollutants from car exhausts. Carbon monoxide gives human beings variety of health impacts. It causes a sudden death by inhaling high concentration. Its presence can be used to quantify the amount of air pollution, and as an indicator of air quality in the garages. This study investigated carbon monoxide concentrations in...

In our paper we would like to present the computational model and programmes which enable calculations of the concentration of pollutants in underground garage caused by assumed scenarios of cars motion for given parameters of building geometry and ventilation. The finite volume method (FVM) has been applied in order to discretise the differential equations. Both problems: velocities of air dis...
متن کاملUltrafine particle emission characteristics of diesel engine by on-board and test bench measurement.
This study investigated the emission characteristics of ultrafine particles based on test bench and on-board measurements. The bench test results showed the ultrafine particle number concentration of the diesel engine to be in the range of (0.56-8.35) x 10(8) cm(-3). The on-board measurement results illustrated that the ultrafine particles were strongly correlated with changes in real-world dri...
متن کاملCharacterizing ultrafine particles and other air pollutants in and around school buses.
Increasing evidence has demonstrated toxic effects of ultrafine particles (UFP*, diameter < 100 nm). Children are particularly at risk because of their immature respiratory systems and higher breathing rates per body mass. This study aimed to characterize UFP, PM2.5 (particulate matter < or = 2.5 microm in aerodynamic diameter), and other vehicular-emitted pollutants in and around school buses....
متن کاملAnalysis of Buoyancy-Driven Ventilation of Hydrogen from Buildings: Preprint
When hydrogen gas is used or stored within a building, as with a hydrogen-powered vehicle parked in a residential garage, any leakage of unignited H2 will mix with indoor air and may form a flammable mixture. One approach to safety engineering relies on buoyancy-driven, passive ventilation of H2 from the building through vents to the outside. To discover relationships between design variables, ...
