Journal ArticleDOI
Flow and dispersion in urban areas
Rex Britter,Steven R. Hanna +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address flow and dispersion in urban areas at four scales: regional, city, neighborhood, and street, and address the most appropriate framework to study and quantify the result.
Journal ArticleDOI
The rise of low-cost sensing for managing air pollution in cities.
Prashant Kumar,Lidia Morawska,Claudio Martani,George Biskos,George Biskos,George Biskos,Marina Neophytou,Silvana Di Sabatino,Margaret Bell,Leslie Norford,Rex Britter +10 more
TL;DR: The drivers behind current rises in the use of low-cost sensors for air pollution management in cities are illustrated, while addressing the major challenges for their effective implementation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafine particles in cities
Prashant Kumar,Lidia Morawska,Wolfram Birmili,Pauli Paasonen,Min Hu,Markku Kulmala,Roy M. Harrison,Leslie Norford,Rex Britter +8 more
TL;DR: This article reviews some fundamental drivers of UFP emissions and dispersion, and highlights unresolved challenges, as well as recommendations to ensure sustainable urban development whilst minimising any possible adverse health impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dynamics of the head of a gravity current advancing over a horizontal surface
J. E. Simpson,Rex Britter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus in which the head of a gravity current is brought to rest by using an opposing flow and a moving floor and a modified lock exchange flow was used to determine the velocity of advance, rate of mixing between two fluids and the depth of the mixed layer left behind the head and above the following gravity current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments on the dynamics of a gravity current head
Rex Britter,J. E. Simpson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the inviscid gravity current head is considered and the mixing appears to occur through Kelvin-Helmholtz billows generated on the front of the head.
