Wind tunnel dispersion modelling some recent and not so recent achievements
نویسنده
چکیده
A selection of illustrative examples is used in reviewing wind tunnel and water tank modelling of atmospheric dispersion, the aim being to discuss cases where the laboratory work has been a key factor in developing scientific understanding and instigating further research. The areas included are: basic dispersion processes, plume rise, buildings effects, urban areas, dense gas dispersion, concentration fluctuations, complex terrain and convective boundary layers. The changing role of laboratory simulations in the face of the continuing advances in computational methods is also discussed. r 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Evaluation of a neighbourhood scale, street network dispersion model through comparison with wind tunnel data
This study compared dispersion calculations using a street network model (SIRANE) with results from wind tunnel experiments in order to examine model performance in simulating short-range pollutant dispersion in urban areas. The comparison was performed using a range of methodologies, from simple graphical comparisons (e.g. scatter plots) to more advanced statistical analyses. A preliminary ana...
متن کاملA Review of Recent Studies on Simulations for Flow around High-Speed Trains
Fluid flow around bluff bodies occurs in numerous fields of science and engineering, such as flows pass vehicles, cables, towers and bridges. These flows have been studied experimentally and numerically for the last several decades. The investigation of flow around high-speed trains is an important application of bluff bodies. Fluid flow, aerodynamic forces and moments, separation and wake regi...
متن کاملCritical review of the building downwash algorithms in AERMOD.
The only documentation on the building downwash algorithm in AERMOD (American Meteorological Society/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model), referred to as PRIME (Plume Rise Model Enhancements), is found in the 2000 A&WMA journal article by Schulman, Strimaitis and Scire. Recent field and wind tunnel studies have shown that AERMOD can overpredict concentrations by factors of 2 t...

Collins, Colorado 80524, USA. Phone: [970] 498 2334, Fax: [970] 221 3124, Email: [email protected] The use of the wind tunnel as a building design tool has become much more commonplace in recent years. Its effective use requires close coordination between the architect, the structural engineer and the wind engineer, with the architect traditionally serving as project leader. Many structural ...
متن کاملExperimental Verification of Plate’s Criteria for Urban Roadways Intersection
In recent past, significant efforts have been made to improve the scientific understanding of exhaust dispersion phenomenon in urban street canyons/intersection. The amount of turbulence generated by natural winds within the street canyon might be smaller than that of traffic induced turbulence. Therefore, the influence of traffic-induced turbulence on exhaust dispersion has to be quantified. I...
