Abstract
Air quality modeling is an essential tool for most air pollution studies. Models can be divided into
-
physical models — small scale, laboratory representations of the phenomena (e.g., wind tunnel, water tank)
-
mathematical models — a set of analytical/numerical algorithms that describe the physical and chemical aspects of the problem
