Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of roadside structures on the transport and dispersion of ultrafine particles from highways
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of roadside barriers on the flow patterns and dispersion of pollutants from a high-traffic highway in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA were examined using the Quick Urban & Industrial Complex (QUIC) model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building resolving large-eddy simulations and comparison with wind tunnel experiments
Piotr K. Smolarkiewicz,Robert Sharman,Jeffrey Weil,Steven G. Perry,David Heist,George E. Bowker +5 more
TL;DR: Large-eddy simulations of the flow past a scale model of a complex building demonstrate that continuous mappings such as the Gal-Chen and Somerville transformation are not inherently limited to gentle slopes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of ozone and nitrate to stationary source NOx emission reductions in the eastern USA
Thomas J. Butler,Thomas J. Butler,Francoise Vermeylen,Melissa Rury,Gene E. Likens,Brian Lee,George E. Bowker,Lance McCluney +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of reduced stationary source NO x emissions on ground-level concentrations of ozone (O 3 ) and dry-NO 3 (HNO 3(g) ǫ+NO 3 − (p) ) in the eastern United States (EUS) was assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of a tall tower on flow and dispersion through a model urban neighborhood
David Heist,Laurie A. Brixey,Jennifer Richmond-Bryant,George E. Bowker,Steven G. Perry,Russell W. Wiener +5 more
TL;DR: Results reveal that a tall tower has a dramatic effect on the flow in the street canyons in the neighboring blocks, enhancing the exchange between the street canyon flow and the freestream flow aloft.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrostatic forces in wind-pollination—Part 1: Measurement of the electrostatic charge on pollen ☆
TL;DR: In this article, the electrostatic charge carried by wind-dispersed pollen grains was measured using an adaptation of the Millikan oil-drop experiment for seven anemophilous plants: Acer rubrum, Cedrus atlantica, Cedrus deodara, Juniperus virginiana, Pinus taeda, Plantago lanceolata and Ulmus alata.
