THE ANALYSIS OF GASEOUS POLLUTANTS DISPERSION IN HILLY TERRAIN

Abstract

The emission of a dangerous substance overlaps in vicinity of wide-range ground-based objects. Consequently, part of the process of dispersion pollution is determined by the flowing conditions and is shaped by their presence and distribution. However, under real conditions, complexes systems of terrain obstacles exist. A subject of interest among many authors is the flow and dispersion of pollutants surrounding single elements such as a hill or a building. This type of research enables a better understanding of the flow and propagation of pollutants on terrain with complex topography. The aim of the present work is the investigation of the influence of the complex character of a velocity field, particularly its periodic composition (non-stationary blowing) as well as rotating structures generated by obstacles such as hills on the propagation of various types of gaseous pollutants. The base of analysis represents the evolution of the carbon dioxide concentration in profiles surrounding hills or different locations in relation as well to the height of the source emission. By propagating a gaseous tracer in a oscillating flow from a source located in a flush zone, a source's location relative to circulation zones of increased level turbulent fluctuations of flow velocity can be determined.
