Synoptic wind driven ventilation and far field radionuclides dispersion across urban block regions: Effects of street aspect ratios and building array skylines Zhi-Rong Huang

Zhi-Rong Huang et al.

Summary: This study conducted a parametric CFD research to investigate the effects of street aspect ratio and urban skyline on the ventilation and radionuclide dispersion within urban blocks. The results showed that street aspect ratio has a dominant impact on air age and retention time in the canyons, while mechanical disturbance of buildings and rugged underlying surface primarily influence radionuclide dispersion.

The influence of solar natural heating and NOx-O3 photochemistry on flow and reactive pollutant exposure in 2D street canyons

Jiarui Liu et al.

Summary: This study utilized a solar radiation model and NOx-O-3 photochemistry in CFD simulations to evaluate the combined effects of turbulent mixing, solar heating, and chemical processes on vehicular pollutant dispersion within 2D street canyons. Solar heating was found to influence airflow patterns and pollutant dispersion, with NO2 exposure generally higher than CO exposure.
