Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finishing this book is giving me a mixture of relief, satisfaction and frus tration. Relief, for the completion of a project that has taken too many of my evenings and weekends and that, in the last several months, has become almost an obsession. Satisfaction, for the optimistic feeling that this book, in spite of its many shortcomings and imbalances, will be of some help to the air pollution scientific community. Frustration, for the impossibility of incorporating newly available material that would require another major review of several key chap ters - an effort that is currently beyond my energies but not beyond my desires. The first canovaccio of this book came out in 1980 when I was invited by Computational Mechanics in the United Kingdom to give my first Air Pollution Modeling course. The course material, in the form of transparencies, expanded, year after year, thus providing a growing working basis. In 1985, the ECC Joint Research Center in Ispra, Italy, asked me to prepare a critical survey of mathe matical models of atmospheric pollution, transport and deposition. This support gave me the opportunity to prepare a sort of "first draft" of the book, which I expanded in the following years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project is to improve our scientific understanding of dispersion issues over complex terrain and publish results in scientific journals. Three scientific articles and one student's Master thesis are under preparation based on the results supported by this project. The first paper, entitled "The role of advection of fluxes on modeling dispersion in convective boundary layers", is aimed at examining the importance of the advection terms for dispersion in a convective boundary layer. An Eulerian three-dimensional higher-order closure dispersion model is presented. The model uses mean wind and turbulence values from a second order atmospheric boundary layer model. The dispersion model is validated against results from tank and field experiments and compared to results from Lagrangian dispersion models. The results show good agreement with experiment and Lagrangian modeling results for point source dispersion in a convective boundary layer. Sensitivity studies of the model helped to identify the roles that advection and horizontal transport terms in the equations for the fluxes play in simulating the essential features of pollutant dispersion. The results from the sensitivity tests show that the famous features of dispersion from a point source in the convective boundary layer - with an ascending plume during ground level release and descending for a lifted point source - is caused by the advection term in the equation for the vertical flux. Furthermore, it is shown that there is a tendency for the plume to split horizontally, which is also caused by the advection term in horizontal fluxes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study was to improve scientists' understanding of dispersion in the planetary boundary layer, particularly the convective boundary layer (CBL), using Lagrangian "particle" models coupled with large-eddy simulation (LES) fields. A one-particle model for the mean concentration field was enhanced by a theoretically improved treatment of the LES subgrid-scale (SGS) velocities. The new model agreed with laboratory and field data and surface layer similarity theory. Investigations of stability effects on CBL dispersion showed that the dispersion rate decreased with a decreasing stability index -z(i)/L, which was attributed to the greater wind shear and the smaller turbulence scales in the surface layer. Using a two-particle model, the authors investigated relative dispersion in the CBL and found that it behaved in a quasi-homogeneous manner for all source heights except those near the surface; the latter was due to the vertical inhomogeneity in the dissipation rate. A study of concentration fluctuations revealed the large (factor of 10) variability caused by velocity field fluctuations; the predicted concentration variability matched the trends in field observations from CBL sources.

Download or read book Lagrangian Stochastic Modeling of Dispersion in the Planetary Boundary Layer written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An existing Lagrangian stochastic model for dispersion in the convective boundary layer (CBL) was extended in two main ways. First, a model for the mean field dispersion in a rapidly-evolving CBL was developed and calculations of the crosswind-integrated concentration (CWIC) were carried out for a range of conditions. Second, a Lagrangian model for the CWIC and the mean and root-mean-square concentrations was developed that uses the velocity fields from large-eddy simulations as input. Calculations of the CWIC fields were made for three source heights and showed good agreement with the convection tank measurements of Willis and Deardorff. (AN).

Download or read book Collaborative Research: Lagrangian Modeling of Dispersion in the Stable Boundary Layer and Canopy Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research was to improve our understanding of dispersion in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) by extending our Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) to the stable boundary layer (SBL) and to PBLs interacting with vegetation canopies. The LPDM was driven by large-eddy simulations (LESs). For the SBL, dispersion simulations of a weakly stable PBL demonstrated the slow dispersion rate caused by the stable stratification and showed that the LPDM produced plume features in good agreement with observations. These included plume ''tilting'' due to wind direction shear, plume spread, and the downwind concentration distribution. For a neutral PBL with a resolved forest canopy, the LPDM demonstrated enhanced vertical dispersion but reduced effects of directional shear on lateral dispersion by comparison to a reference no-canopy case. More detailed canopy studies were initiated by coupling the LES with a newly developed multi-layer canopy version of the NOAH land-surface model; initial results showed that the modeled canopy-imposed heat source accurately reproduces that obtained from the recent CHATS field experiment.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In regions as densely populated as Western Europe, prediction of the ecological implications of pollutant transport are important in order to minimise damage in the case of accidents, and to evaluate the possible influence of existing or planned sources. In most cases, such predictions depend on high-speed computation. The present textbook presents a mathematically explicit introduction in eight chapters: 1: An introduction to the basics of fluid dynamics of the atmosphere and the local events and mesoscale processes. 2: The types of PDEs describing atmospheric flows for limited area models, the problem of appropriate boundary conditions describing the topographical constraints, and well-posedness. 3: Thermodynamics of the atmosphere, dry and wet, its stability, and radiation processes, budgets and the influence of their sum. 4: Scaling and similarity laws for stable and convective turbulent atmospheric boundary layers and the influence of inhomogeneous terrain on the advection and the vertical dispersion, and the method of large eddy simulation. 5: Statistical processes in turbulent dispersion, turbulent diffusion and chemical reactions in fluxes. 6: Theoretical modelling of diffusion and dispersion of pollutant gases. 7: The influence of urban heat production on local climate. 8: Atmospheric inversion layers and lapping inversion, the stable boundary layer and nocturnal inversion.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969 the North Atlantic Treaty Organization established the Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society. Air Pollution was from the start one of the pri9rity problems under study within the framework of the pilot studies undertaken by this Committee. The organization of a yearly symposium dealing with air pollution modeling and its application is one of the main activities within the pilot study in relation to air pollution. After being organized for five years by the United States and for five years by the Federal Republic of Germany, Belgium, represented by the Prime Minister's Office for Science Policy Programming, became responsible in 1980 for the organization of this symposium. This volume contains the papers presented at the 13th Inter national Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modeling and its Appli cation held at lIe des Embiez, France, from 14th to 17th September 1982. This meeting was jointly organized by the Prime Minister's Office for Science Policy Programming, Belgium, and the Ministere de l'Environnement, France. The conference was attended by 120 participants and 45 papers have been presented. The closing ses sion of the 13th I. T.

Book Synopsis Dispersion by Time-varying Atmospheric Boundary Layers by : Alexander Charles Taylor

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The periods of time-varying turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer, i.e. the morning and evening transitions, are often overlooked or highly idealised by dispersion models. These transitions make up a significant portion of the diurnal cycle and are known to affect the spread of pollution due to the properties of turbulence in the residual and stable layers, resulting in phenomena such as lofting, trapping, and fumigation. Two main simulation techniques are presented for the purpose of modelling the dispersion of passive tracers in both convective and evening transitional boundary layers: Lagrangian stochastic (LS) modelling for 1D, inhomogeneous, non-stationary turbulence; and large-eddy simulation (LES) with a particle model tracing pollutant paths using a combination of the resolved flow velocities and a random displacement model to represent sub-grid scale motions. In the convective boundary layer, LS models more accurately representing the state of turbulence, and including the effect of skewness, are shown to produce dispersion results in closer agreement with LES. By considering individual particle trajectories, a reflective top boundary in LS models is shown to produce un-physical, sharp changes in velocity and position. By applying a correction to the vertical velocity variance based on representing the stable potential temperature gradient above the boundary layer, particles are contained within the boundary layer in a physically accurate way. An LS model for predicting dispersion in time-varying, skewed turbulence is developed and tested for various particle releases in transitional boundary layers with different rates of decay, showing an improvement in accuracy compared with previous LS models. Further improvement is made by applying a correction to the vertical velocity variance to represent the effect of a positive potential temperature gradient developing over the course of the transition. Finally, a developing stable boundary layer is shown to have a significant trapping effect on particles released near the surface.
