Dispersion in urban areas is difficult to simulate accurately due to, among other things, the complex interaction between the wind and topographical features. We perform a large eddy simulation on the dispersion of an inert pollutant in the city of Turku, Finland. The pollutant is released from a point source located at the top of a stack of a heating plant. Our simulations produce an irregular plume with a complex shape. The spreading of the plume appears to be influenced by buildings, trees, and terrain.

摘要

Dispersion in urban areas is difficult to simulate accurately due to, among other things, the complex interaction between the wind and topographical features. We perform a large eddy simulation on the dispersion of an inert pollutant in the city of Turku, Finland. The pollutant is released from a point source located at the top of a stack of a heating plant. Our simulations produce an irregular plume with a complex shape. The spreading of the plume appears to be influenced by buildings, trees, and terrain.
