  1. 6. Mass conservative network model for convective net flow in a complex urban geometry

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Linus Olofsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Network model; Street canyons; Intersections; Urban dispersion; CFD data; CFD simulations; Atmospheric exchange;

    Abstract : When simulating air flows in an urban environment, for e.g. pollutant dispersion investigations, today's main tool is advanced computational fluid dynamics simulations. These simulations take a lot of time and resources to perform, even for small geometries. READ MORE
