Abstract

This paper describes a numerical modeling approach that can be used to provide estimates of emissions at industrial sites. In particular the models presented are capable of simulating the wind flow and dispersion of airborne pollutants around surface-mounted structures such as buildings or building complexes. The calculational procedure in this approach consists of two sequential steps, namely: (i) prediction of the mean flow via a turbulent flow model; and (ii) employment of the calculated flow field to drive a particle-in-cell transport and diffusion model. A benchmark simulation is performed in which numerical results from the flow model are compared with other numerical models and with experimental data for flow over a backward-facing step. Results from three-dimensional simulations of flow and dispersion over a two-building complex are also presented.
