Preliminary investigations of pollutant distribution in a two-dimensional street canyon

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6331032
;
Street canyons, known to be somewhat isolated from upper air flow, may trap pollution from automobile exhausts for extended periods. Analytical formulae was developed for predicting pollutant concentrations inside the street canyon. Some results of physical simulations for determining the numerical constants involved in these formulae are presented. Instead of actual pollutants, heat was used as a tracer and air temperature was measured in the wind tunnel experiments.
