1. Implementing spatial variance in the rate of photolytic breakdown of NO2 in urban street canyons
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaperAbstract : In this study a module for calculating the solar exposure of individual fluid cells was developed to more accurately represent the effect of photolysis on the pollutant dispersion in an urban street canyon. The module was tested and validated on 12 different cases, each with a different geographical location, time of year and/or time of day. READ MORE

4. Wireless wave propagation in city street canyons
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknikAbstract : This project aims to determine the characteristics of a wireless communication channel in city-street-canyon scenarios. The channel of a typical city intersection is modeled with a ray tracer and measured with a channel sounder. Then, the results of both tools are compared in terms of the local scattering function.
