Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the characteristics of nanoparticles in the urban atmosphere and the prospects for developing regulatory controls
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the existing knowledge of nanoparticles in the urban atmosphere, highlights recent advances in our understanding and discusses research priorities and emerging aspects of the subject, as well as the role of removal mechanisms of various kinds.
Journal ArticleDOI
UK-ADMS: A new approach to modelling dispersion in the earth's atmospheric boundary layer
D. J. Carruthers,R. J. Holroyd,J. C. R. Hunt,W. S. Weng,W. S. Weng,Alan Robins,David Apsley,D.J. Thompson,F.B. Smith,F.B. Smith +9 more
TL;DR: The UK atmospheric dispersion modelling system is a computer code for modelling the dispersion of buoyant or neutrally buoyant gaseous and particulate emissions to the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow over cube arrays of different packing densities
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface shear stress of uniform urban-type surfaces of two different area densities were performed in a wind tunnel, together with direct measurements of the surface drag, and the aerodynamic characteristics of each surface were determined and compared.

TL;DR: The background of the DAPPLE project, the study design and methodology for data collection, some preliminary results from the first field campaign in central London, the future for this work and the future of the street canyon intersection are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
A wind tunnel investigation of the influence of solar-induced wall-heating on the flow regime within a simulated urban street canyon
A. Kovar-Panskus,L. Moulinneuf,Eric Savory,A. Abdelqari,J.-F. Sini,J.-M. Rosant,Alan Robins,Norman Toy +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wind tunnel study has been undertaken to assess the influence of solar-induced wall heating on the airflow pattern within a street canyon under low-speed windconditions.
