Unsteady gravity current flows over obstacles: Some observations and analysis related to the phase II trials
TL;DR: The Phase II trials at Thorney Island were designed to provide a few full-scale results of the interaction of heavy gas clouds with surface-mounted obstacles and the results are preliminary, and largely qualitative, because the concentration and other quantitative measurements are not yet available as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Modelling of Turbulence from Traffic in Urban Dispersion Models — Part II: Evaluation Against Laboratory and Full-Scale Concentration Measurements in Street Canyons
Petra Kastner-Klein,Petra Kastner-Klein,Evgeni Fedorovich,Evgeni Fedorovich,Matthias Ketzel,Ruwim Berkowicz,Rex Britter +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the problem of parameterization of traffic induced turbulent motion in urban dispersion models and propose a new dispersive velocity scale to account for traffic induced air motions in predictions of street-canyon pollution levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Directions: Can a “blue sky” return to Indian megacities?
Prashant Kumar,Suresh Jain,Bhola R. Gurjar,Prateek Sharma,Mukesh Khare,Lidia Morawska,Rex Britter +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the challenges faced by Indian megacities in their quest for sustainable growth, without compromising the air quality and urban way of life, and discuss the solutions to these challenges.
Journal ArticleDOI
A note on the structure of the head of an intrusive gravity current
Rex Britter,J. E. Simpson +1 more
TL;DR: The head of an intrusive flow advancing along the interface between two fluids is studied experimentally when the two layers are of equal depth and the density of the intrusion is the mean of the two densities as discussed by the authors.
