High-Resolution Case Study of Pollutant Dispersion in an Urban Environment Using Large-Eddy Simulation
摘要
Dispersion in urban areas is difficult to simulate accurately due to, among other things, the complex interaction between the wind and topographical features. We perform a large eddy simulation on the dispersion of an inert pollutant in the city of Turku, Finland. The pollutant is released from a point source located at the top of a stack of a heating plant. Our simulations produce an irregular plume with a complex shape. The spreading of the plume appears to be influenced by buildings, trees, and terrain.
