The main objective of this paper was to establish the effect of anthropogenic heat flux on the formation of mixing depth specially in urban areas. In this study an energy balance mixing depth model was developed for the simulation of mixing depth incorporating the heat island effect. To demonstrate the effect of heat island, mixing depths were simulated under two conditions. Under the first condition, hourly gridded anthropogenic heat flux and variant surface characteristics were considered, while under the second condition anthropogenic heat flux term was ignored and constant surface characteristics were considered throughout the modelling domain. The release of anthropogenic heat flux in the urban environment was found to be responsible for the growth of the unstable layer in the lower atmosphere even during the night. This resulted in higher mixing depth values in urban areas compared to the surrounding countryside. The maximum differential surfaces sensible heat flux between urban and rural areas was estimated as 130 W/m2. From the simulation of mixing depth, it was revealed that the maximum increment in mixing depth in urban areas was 300 m due to the heat island effect. This increment in mixing depth in urban areas can provide an extra space for dilution and mixing of pollutants. 相似文献

We studied the mass-related aerosol properties, simultaneously attwo sites at the urban roof top level in the same city. Nosystematic influence of the wind vector on the difference in theaerosol concentrations between the two locations could be found.These results are compared with results from a second, similarexperiment over a larger distance including one urban and onerural site. Surprisingly, we could not detect a tendency whichwould indicate that sampling air at distance in the order of 1 kmwould be less affected by the heterogeneity than samplingdistanced in the order of 10 km apart. On the contrary, theresults suggest that mass-related properties at two sites in thesame city are not necessarily more similar than at an urban and arural site outside the city. These results stress the limitedhorizontal homogeneity of urban atmospheric aerosol. As aconclusion it is suggested that single-site measurements of mass-related aerosol properties should be considered to berepresentative for an area smaller than 1 km2 on size. 相似文献

Influence of Building Density and Roof Shape on the Wind and Dispersion Characteristics in an Urban Area: A Numerical Study 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The Computational Fluid Dynamics code CFX-TASCflow is used for simulating the wind flow and pollutant concentration patterns in two-dimensional wind-tunnel models of an urban area. Several two-dimensional multiple street canyon configurations are studied corresponding to different areal densities and roof shapes. A line source of a tracer gas is placed at the bottom of one street canyon for modelling street-level traffic emissions. The flow fields resulting from the simulations correspond to the patterns observed in street canyons. In particular and in good agreement with observations, a dual vortex system is predicted for a deep flat-roof street canyon configuration, while an even more complex vortex system is evidenced in the case of slanted-roof square street canyons. In agreement with measurement data, high pollutant concentration levels are predicted either on the leeward or the windward side of the street canyon, depending on the geometrical details of the surrounding buildings. 相似文献

北京市城市非点源污染特征的研究 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:18
通过监测降雨径流水质,研究了北京市城市非点源污染的特征。结果表明,北京市城市地表径流水排入任何地表水体都会对其造成污染,且城市地表径流水的大部分水质指标已经达到了污水综合排放的三级标准,因此,我们对待城市地表径流水应该如对待污水一样处理。对于TN、TP、CODCr、BOD5浓度,路面径流要高于屋顶径流,而对于SS浓度,屋顶径流高于路面径流。总磷TP颗粒吸附态的污染物对总污染物的贡献最大,对于路面径流高达83.1%,对于屋顶径流为68.6%,其次是CODCr,总氮TN的颗粒吸附态的贡献较低。通过沉积或过滤去除城市地表径流中的悬浮颗粒物,可以提高城市地表径流的水质。所有污染物随降雨过程变化的总体趋势为雨水初期径流污染物浓度很高,随降雨历时的延长,污染物浓度逐渐下降并趋于稳定。初期径流危害较大。 相似文献

Copper sheeting is a common roofing material used in many parts of the world. However, copper dissolved from roof sheeting
represents a source of copper ions to watersheds. Researchers have studied and recently developed a simple and efficient model
to predict copper runoff rates. Important input parameters include precipitation amount, rain pH, and roof angle. We hypothesized
that the length of a roof also positively correlates with copper concentration (thus, runoff rates) on the basis that runoff
concentrations should positively correlate with contact time between acidic rain and the copper sheet. In this study, a novel
system was designed to test and model the effects of roof length (length of roof from crown to the drip edge) on runoff copper
concentrations relative to rain pH and roof angle. The system consisted of a flat-bottom copper trough mounted on an apparatus
that allowed run length and slope to be varied. Water of known chemistry was trickled down the trough at a constant rate and
sampled at the bottom. Consistent with other studies, as pH of the synthetic rainwater decreased, runoff copper concentrations
increased. At all pH values tested, these results indicated that run length was more important in explaining variability in
copper concentrations than was the roof slope. The regression equation with log-transformed data (R
2 = 0.873) accounted for slightly more variability than the equation with untransformed data (R
2 = 0.834). In log-transformed data, roof angle was not significant in predicting copper concentrations. 相似文献

State-of-the-art approaches for urban air-quality characterisation have several drawbacks due to apriori assumptions and/or due to inherent limitations of the concept utilised. For the evaluation of abatement scenarios it is either necessary to embark on extensive monitoring campaigns or to consistently apply numerical models for atmospheric dispersion. The 'ENVISOR' methodology applied here is a mixture of the two approaches. It forecasts pollutant concentrations during real episodes and assesses the impact from the construction of a new highway across a large urban domain of 100×100 km2. Data from an extensive monitoring network are used to identify real modelling periods and for validating the modelling simulations. The selected periods are aiming to the assessment of 'annual mean' or 'episodic' conditions. These periods are short-listed according to the abatement scenario under consideration. This approach yields accurate forecasts for the concentration of pollutants after extensive validation tests extended over the whole domain. It is foreseen that the impact from the highway construction will be minimal for photochemical pollution whereas, higher impact will result for inert pollutants due to additional emissions from the highway. 相似文献

The hydrodynamics of an idealized estuarine plume along a straight coast are studied using a three-dimensional hydrodynamical
module of the Coupled Hydrodynamical Ecological Model for Regional Shelf Seas. The sensitivity of the solution with respect
to river discharge, bottom roughness length, and the presence or absence of tides are studied. Assuming constant water depth
and no wind forcing, modeled results for the surface layer are obtained, including: (1) variation in the horizontal shape
of the plume; (2) horizontal distribution of the current vector; and (3) horizontal distribution of the salinity field within
the plume over one tidal cycle. Effects of three different river discharges, four selected different bottom roughness lengths,
and tides on its development are examined. Results suggest: (1) the plume length naturally increases through time under tidal
forcing or as well as without tidal forcing, but its width shows approximately periodic variation; (2) both the plume width
and length increase with increasing river discharge; (3) both the plume width and length decrease with increasing four selected
bottom roughness lengths; and (4) both the bulge and coastal current of the plume are more evident without the presence of
tidal effects. The results show their potential implications for contaminant fate and transport and novel methods of pollution
prevention and control in estuarine and coastal waters. 相似文献
