Dispersion in the near-field region of localised releases urban areas is difficult to predict because strong influence individual buildings. Effects include upstream dispersion, trapping material into building wakes and enhanced concentration fluctuations. As a result, patterns are highly variable time mean profiles near field strongly non-Gaussian. These aspects dispersion documented by analysing data from direct numerical simulations arrays building-like obstacles related underlying flow...
Abstract We develop a process-based model for the dispersion of passive scalar in turbulent flow around buildings city centre. The street network is based on dividing airspace streets and intersections into boxes, within which turbulence renders air well mixed. Mean advection through intersection boxes then mediates further lateral dispersion. At same time mixing vertical detrains from boundary layer above buildings. When geometry regular, has an analytical solution that describes variation...
Complaints from the Domingos Martins population about sewage odours in city made district attorney order an impact assessment of emitted by wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This study comprised various techniques, models and surveys. In 2007, odour emission model proved that main hydrogen sulphide emitter was aeration tank WWTP (13.5 g h(-1)) such emissions, according to CALPUFF model, should be perceived whole centre area. this area, 58% those interviewed were annoyed odours. However,...
The Alcantara Launch Center (ALC) is the main Brazilian access to space. It positioned over a complex terrain, and it has some important buildings for assembling, integration launching activities, such as Mobile Integration Tower. Being in region of prevalent trade winds, flow interaction between terrain can affect safety operations on platform, dispersion toxic gases emitted during launching. objective this work was study influence topography atmospheric ALC using computational fluid...
The Alcântara Launch Center (ALC) is the Brazilian gate to space located at north coast of Maranhão State, close Equator.Topographical local characteristics modify parameters incident atmospheric winds and it can cause great influence on gas dispersion process.In this work, detailed scale models ALC region was experimentally evaluated using a wind tunnel.The topographical were built where mean fluctuating flow analysed in order understand real behaviour then, simulations effluent process...
