Molecular and Stratification Effects on the Evolution of Concentration Fluctuations in Decaying Homogeneous Turbulence with Transverse Mean-Concentration Gradient
K. Oduyemi,Rex Britter +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a passive linear cross-stream mean temperature profile will maintain itself and will be independent of the downstream distance for decaying turbulent flows, and the authors used differentially heated screens downstream of a grid to study the evolution of passive scalar fluctuations.
Modelling the urban flow field and pollution dispersion using digital elevation models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to estimate the aerodynamic roughness length for the city as a whole and its spatial variation, using both linearised perturbation modelling and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Understanding dispersion of nanoparticles in vehicle wakes combining field measurements and wind tunnel simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dispersion of nanoparticles in the wake of moving vehicles using a differential mobility spectrometer (Cambustion DMS50) and wind tunnel simulations.
From meso-scale to street-scale: a downscaling procedure using statistical and CFD models.The Lisbon case study
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed methodologies aiming at the optimization of the energy consumption of buildings in relation to their cooling and heating requirements, which are strongly related to the micro-climatic conditions that develop within the vicinity of buildings and particularly the wind speed, temperature and humidity.
