The flow and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons are investigated using a two-dimensional numerical model with the k–ε turbulent closure scheme. It is shown that the flow field is characterized mainly by the number and intensity of vortices produced in the street canyon. As the street aspect ratio (ratio of the building height to the width between buildings) increases, the number of vortices increases. In the upper-canyon region, the downward motion near the downwind building is stronge

This study numerically investigates dry and moist convection forced by an urban heat island using a twodimensional, nonhydrostatic, compressible model with explicit cloud microphysical processes (Advanced Regional Prediction System). The urban heat island is represented by specified heating. Extensive numerical experiments with various heating amplitudes, representing the intensity of the urban heat island, uniform basicstate wind speeds, and basic-state relative humidities, are performed to exa

A circulating water channel is constructed to examine urban street-canyon flow. In the cases of an even-notch street canyon in which model buildings on both sides of the street have equal heights, one vortex is observed in model canyons with aspect ratios of 1 and 1.5, and two counterrotating vortices are observed in canyons with aspect ratios of 2, 2.4, and 3. In all of the even-notch cases, the center of the vortex (or the upper vortex) is located slightly downstream of the canyon center, and

Abstract Flow and pollutant dispersion in a densely built-up area of Seoul, Korea, are numerically examined using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model coupled to a mesoscale model [fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5)]. The CFD model used is a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations model with the renormalization group k − ɛ turbulence model. A one-way nesting method is employed in this study. MM5-simulated data are

A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is developed to simulate urban flow and dispersion, to understand fluid dynamical processes therein, and to provide practical solutions to some emerging problems of urban air pollution. The governing equations are the Reynolds-averaged equations of momentum, mass continuity, heat, and other scalar (here, passive pollutant) under the Boussinesq approximation. The Reynolds stresses and turbulent fluxes are parameterized using the eddy di

Examples of synchronization, pervasive throughout the natural world, are often awe-inspiring because they tend to transcend our intuition. Synchronization in chaotic dynamical systems, of which the Lorenz system is a quintessential example, is even more surprising because the very defining features of chaos include sensitive dependence on initial conditions. It is worth pursuing, then, the question of whether high-dimensional extensions of such a system also exhibit synchronization. This study i

Abstract The impacts of urban aerosols on clouds and precipitation are investigated using a spectral (bin) microphysics cloud model. For this purpose, extensive numerical experiments with various aerosol concentrations are performed under different environmental moisture conditions. To take into account the urban heat island and urban air pollution, it is considered that there is low-level heating in the urban area and that the aerosol concentration in the urban area is higher than that in the s
