Numerical Modelling of Pollution Dispersion in 3D Atmospheric Boundary Layer

  • Chapter
Air Pollution Modelling and Simulation

Abstract

The main goal of this work is to present the applicable models and numerical methods for solution of flow and pollution dispersion in 3D Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). Mathematical models are based on the system of Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations and its simplifications. The sets of governing equations are completed by the transport equations for passive impurities and potential temperature. A simple algebraic turbulent closure model is used. The thermal stability phenomenon is taken into account. For each mathematical model a numerical scheme based on finite-difference or finite-volume discretization is proposed and discussed. Some results of numerical tests are presented for pollution dispersion from point sources and flows over simple geometries.
