Numerical Simulation of Wind Flow and Pollution Transport in Urban Street Canyons
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, a three-dimensional numerical simulation of the wind flow and pollutant transport in street canyons is carried out by a new specific solver, which is developed and coupled into an open source CFD tool box, the OpenFOAM package. The new model has been applied to study the effect of roof shapes and building heights on the flow patterns and pollutant transports in the street canyons. The numerical results have been validated against laboratory experiments. The comparisons between the simulations and observations show a good agreement on the flow patterns and pollutant transports.

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Ultrafine Particle Dispersion in Urban Street Canyons with the Spalart-Allmaras Turbulence Model
The increased traffic emissions and reduced ventilation of urban street canyons lead to the formation of high particle concentrations as a function of the related flow field and geometry. In this context, the use of advanced modelling tools, able to evaluate particle concentration under different traffic and meteorological conditions, may be helpful. In this work, a numerical scheme based on th...
متن کاملPedestrian-Level Urban Wind Flow Enhancement with Wind Catchers
Dense urban areas restrict air movement, causing airflow in urban street canyons to be much lower than the flow above buildings. Boosting near-ground wind speed can enhance thermal comfort in warm climates by increasing skin convective heat transfer. We explored the potential of a wind catcher to direct atmospheric wind into urban street canyons. We arranged scaled-down models of buildings with...
