A fast pollutant dispersion model for urban canopies is developed by coupling mean wind profiles to a parameterisation of turbulent diffusion and solving the time-dependent advection–diffusion equation. The performance simplified, coarse-grained representation velocity field investigated. Spatially averaged within local averaging regions or repeating units are predicted three-dimensional Poisso...

Continuous development and increase of population in the urban areas, a series of problems related to environment such as deforestation, release of toxic materials, solid waste disposals, air pollution and many more, have attracted attention much greater than ever before. The problem of air pollution in cities has become so severe that there is a need for timely information about changes in the...

Mathematical models are well known as useful tools for water management practices, directly or indirectly related to the implementation of the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in European countries. They can be applied to solve or understand either simple water quality problems or complex water management problems of trans-boundary rivers or multiple-purpose and stratified reservoirs. Accidental...

background: the air dispersion models are widely used to evaluate and predict the pollutants emissions from air pollution sources such as incinerators. this study attempts to predict the heavy metal pollutants dispersion emitted by an incineration plant impacting its surrounding area. methods: several scenarios of emission rates coupled with the meteorological conditions were investigated using...

A computer program was developed to predict the dispersion of gas pollutant in the atmosphere. This program relies on puff method, and in order to consider the wind shear effects, the program has the ability to consider the complete dynamic and unsteady atmospheric conditions. Plume rise of hot pollutants due to buoyancy effects was also considered. The program has the capacity to perform the r...

A hydraulic scale model was used in a laboratory experiment for the purpose of understanding the characteristics of a pollutant dispersion in subsurface soil. The experimental site was an area near a radioactive waste repository in the Republic of Korea. The hydraulic scale model was designed and manufactured in geometric similarity to the actual site. The tracer 99mTc which has a short half-li...
