The effect of microscale urban canyon flow on mesoscale puff dispersion

OSTI ID:486088
When modeling mesoscale plume or puff transport over distances of one to ten kilometers, the initial small-scale near-source effects are often ignored or parameterized in a crude way. If the release is in an urban environment, buildings and other urban structures can significantly impact the local plume dispersion (e.g., Davidson et al., 1995). In this paper, the authors investigate whether the building-scale effects are important on the longer time-scale mesoscale dispersion process.
