Abstract

AbstractA recently developed mesoscale numerical model has been applied to the Athens Basin in order to provide a detailed description of the mean flow and pollution levels under neutral atmospheric conditions. The model is based on the numerical solution of the time‐averaged Navier‐Stokes equations written in their contravariant strong conservation form in a generalized non‐orthogonal co‐ordinate system. Before its application to the Athens Basin case, the reliability of the model was tested by predicting the flow and concentration fields over a three‐dimensional hill. The predicted results agree favourably with available experimental data, demonstrating the validity, flexibility and economy of the model for flows in three‐dimensional complex terrain.
