Numerical modeling of thermal influence to pollutant dispersion and dynamics of particles motion with various sizes in idealized street canyon

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a numerical simulation of air pollution and the particles distribution in idealized urban canyons with aspect ratio 1 for various thermal conditions was considered. To solve the problem, the RANS equations were used, while various turbulent models were used to close this system of equations. To validate of the mathematical model was solved the test problem in isothermal condition numerically. The various turbulent models results were compared with empirical and modeling results. The main problem was described as the pollutants emission process and particles between houses using various grass barrier types under different temperature regimes. The results of computational simulation without grass barrier were compared with the calculated values using different types of grass barriers. In the course of various studies, it was found that the existence of barriers along the streets reduces the concentration of harmful substances and the concentration of particles in the air. Increasing the thermal value for a roadside barrier reduces deposition and dispersion of pollutants.
