对大气边界层内大气湍流和建筑物对道路交叉口处机动车排放气态污染物扩散的影响进行了研究.在计算区域内建立了三维街道峡谷型道路交叉口及其内部机动车排放的模型,并在中性层结条件下,采用CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)稳态κ-ε湍流模型和被动标量的输运方程模拟了模型内外的流场和CO浓度场.结果表明:① 在相同高度条件下,交叉口处与处于下风向的街区内CO浓度明显高于其他街区;②风向对污染物的输运起决定性作用,在不同高度平面内CO浓度最大值均出现在平行风向的街区内;③外部大气湍流的驱动使得垂直风向的街区内产生强烈涡旋,涡旋的输运作用导致相同高度下上风向CO浓度较高;④交叉口处气流的掺混导致气流速度降低,使得平行风向的街区内CO可以向两侧垂直风向的街区内扩散,起到了稀释交叉口处地面附近CO浓度的作用.模拟结果与风洞实验结果符合较好,验证了方法的可靠性.

用FLUENT模式对中性大气、单个建筑的气流扰动情况进行模拟,并以风洞试验数据检验模拟效果;将模拟方法应用于类似城市建筑阵列条件的大气污染扩散问题,并且与现场示踪试验比较. 结果表明:FLUENT对建筑扰动条件的平均风场模拟效果良好,FAC2(模拟值与试验值之比在0.5~2之间的比例)在水平与垂直风速下分别达到77.9%与61.0%;对湍流特征量的模拟偏差稍大,K(湍流动能)虽总体偏小,但FAC2仍达到了54.6%. 选择湍流闭合的标准K-ε(ε为湍流动能耗散率)方案、重整化群K-ε方案和雷诺应力模型方案对结果的影响均不大. 采用FLUENT模拟了类似城市街区建筑阵列条件的大气扩散个例, 模拟结果反映了建筑扰动导致的扩散烟流轴线相对于平均风向的非常规偏移,并且扩散浓度与示踪试验结果相符较好,下风向32与63m处的侧向模拟浓度峰值的相对误差分别为72.5%与36.9%. 相比于高斯模式ISC3,FLUENT对复杂建筑阵列条件的扩散模拟结果更符合实际,如污染物向上风向扩散以及在建筑物周围堆积与绕流的现象.

Particle model simulation of diffusion in low wind speed stable conditions

A Lagrangian particle model (LAMDA), previously developed and applied to the simulation of atmospheric dispersion in neutral and convective windy conditions, was modified to deal with stable low wind speed conditions. These last are among the most difficult to be treated. In fact, on the one hand, nearly calm situations, associated to strong stability and air stagnation, make the lower layers of the atmosphere poorly diffusive, and, on the other hand, the large fluctuations in the wind direction (meandering), spread the airborne pollutants over wide angular sectors. An ad hoc algorithm to simulate the effect of meadering on the dispersion is proposed. The model is validated by comparing its simulation results to three tracer experiments held in stable low wind speed conditions by the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (U.S.A.) in 1974. These experiments present plume spread of different width (48, 138 and 360°, respectively, at an arc located 200 m downwind from the source) and are comprehensive of a wide set of conditions, ranging from strong to weak stability and from low wind speed to calm. The results of the comparison are discussed. The ability of the model to simulate the g.l.c. distributions with a good degree of confidence is illustrated.     

A meso-scale plume dispersion model. Preliminary evaluation in a heterogeneous area

A plume dispersion model for meso-γ-scale applications is developed. The model is formulated with the aim to study plume spreading in moderately complex terrain. An eddy diffusivity analogue is used in order to facilitate future inclusion of chemical transformations. The full diffusivity tensor, obtained from a second-order closure turbulence model, is used to described the dispersion process. The model is driven with simulated meteorological fields, obtained by means of a second-order turbulence closure model. An initial model evaluation has been undertaken using model predictions for an area featuring horizontally inhomogeneous dispersion conditions. Comparison with measurements, as well as with predictions of several other model types for distances out to 40 km, shows that the model is able to describe realistically plume widths and concentration in areas with strongly varying dispersion conditions. Non-negligible errors in plume position were however found for all models compared.

A micro-scale dispersion model for motor vehicle exhaust gas in urban areas—OMG volume-source model

A micro-scale dispersion model is presented for estimating the concentration of pollutants from motor vehicle exhaust gas within an area extending 200 m from the side of the road in an urban area. The initial mixing of pollutants in a street canyon is modeled as a volume source employing an analytical solution to the Fickian diffusion equation.Parameters for the model were determined based on data from experiments performed at five locations in Osaka. In the experiments, SF₆ was released as a tracer gas. The height for wind speed measurements for use as the advection speed of the plume was determined from an analysis of the flux of SF₆. The eddy diffusivities in the vertical and lateral directions were derived from statistics of the turbulent velocity fluctuations of the air. The sensitivity analysis of the model revealed that proper characterization of the thickness of the volume source is essential for proper estimation of the concentration of pollutants.     

Flow and dispersion of pollutants within two-dimensional valleys

Wind tunnel experiments and a theoretical model concerning the flow structure and pollutant diffusion over two-dimensional valleys of varying aspect ratio are described and compared. Three model valleys were used, having small, medium, and steep slopes. Measurements of mean and turbulent velocity fields were made upstream, within and downwind of each of these valleys. Concentration distributions were measured downwind of tracer sources placed at an array of locations within each of the valleys. The data are displayed as maps of terrain amplification factors, defined as the ratios of maximum ground-level concentrations in the presence of the valleys to the maxima observed from sources of the same height located in flat terrain. Maps are also provided showing the distance to locations of the maximum ground-level concentrations. The concentration patterns are interpreted in terms of the detailed flow structure measured in the valleys. These data were also compared with results of a mathematical model for treating flow and dispersion over two-dimensional complex terrain. This model used the wind tunnel measurements to generate mean flow fields and eddy diffusivities, and these were applied in the numerical solution of the diffusion equation. Measured concentration fields were predicted reasonably well by this model for the valley of small slope and somewhat less well for the valley of medium slope. Because flow separation was observed within the steepest valley, the model was not applied in this case.     

Building wake dispersion at an Arctic industrial site: Field tracer observations and plume model evaluations

Ten multi-hour atmospheric dispersion SF₆ tracer experiments were conducted during October and November of 1987 near a large oil gathering facility in the Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, oilfield reservation. The purpose of this study was to investigate dispersion under arctic conditions and in situations where building-generated airflow disturbances dominate downwind distributions of ground level pollutant concentrations. This was accomplished with a network of micrometeorological instruments, portable syringe tracer samplers, continuous tracer analyzers, and infrared visualization of near source plume behavior.Atmospheric stability and wind speed profiles at this arctic site are influenced by the smooth (surface roughness = 0.03 cm), snow covered tundra surface which receives negligible levels of solar isolation in winter. The dispersion of pollutants emitted from sources within the oil gathering facility, however, is dominated by the influence of nearby buildings when high winds generate elevated ground level concentrations. An order of magnitude increase in maximum ground level concentration was observed as wind speeds increased from 5 to 8 m s⁻¹ and another order of magnitude increase was observed as winds increased from 8 to 16 m s⁻¹. Variation in maximum concentrations was also observed with changes in wind direction. Vertical plume diffusion (σ_z) near the buildings was a factor of 2–3 greater than that observed in open terrain and was dependent on both wind speed and the projected building width and location of nearby buildings. Wind tunnel tracer distributions for east winds agree with field observations but also indicate that a significant increase in plume downwash occurs with other wind directions. Concentration distributions were calculated using several versions of the Industrial Source Complex (ISC) model. Model estimates of ground level concentrations were within a factor of three depending on wind direction. The model predictions are extremely sensitive to the ratio of plume height to vertical plume diffusion which is significantly influenced by a complex aerodynamic wake in the field.     

Simulation of dispersion in moderately complex terrain—Part B. The higher order closure dispersion model

A three-dimensional higher-order closure dispersion model is presented. The model is used to simulate dispersion from point sources in complex terrain. The model uses mean and turbulence quantities simulated with the fluid dynamic model presented in Part A to simulate dispersion in a polar coordinate system with its origin in the point source. Different turbulent length scales are used for the vertical and horizontal fluxes. Simulation results are compared with data from tracer experiments performed in southern Sweden, the Vänersborg-Trollhättan region. The tracer experiments were performed during convective atmospheric conditions as well as during very stable conditions. The geographical area has terrain features that exert forcing on the meso-γ-scale. Within the area there is a relatively flat agricultural area, forested hills, a river valley and an extended lake area. The terrain height relief is typically 80 m.The simulations with the dispersion model performed in the Vänersborg-Trollhättan region show good agreement with measured data in the region for convective atmospheric conditions as well as for very stable conditions.     

A surface-layer similarity model for the dispersion of a skewed passive puff near the ground

A model for the dispersion of a passive puff near the ground is developed. The model is based on the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory for the atmospheric surface layer, which is used to specify eddy diffusivities and the wind speed profile. Starting from the diffusion equation in a puff-following coordinate-system, rate equations are derived for the standard deviations of the concentration distribution and for its skewness. Approximate solutions are obtained for the shape of the concentration distribution and for the puff velocity.

数值风洞与物理风洞对烟塔合一排烟的比较研究

热电厂"烟塔合一"排烟技术因其初期投资和运行维护费用少,排烟效果好、SO2落地浓度低等优势,特别是在机场附近的净空限高和对景观环境有特殊要求的地区具有广阔的发展空间。目前国内外广泛使用的大气污染物预测模型——德国模式在烟塔合一排烟方式的预测上尚存在许多问题,如大风下洗条件下,冷却塔附近空腔区的大小和范围、空腔区污染物最大地面浓度等难以给出准确的预测结果。为准确预测烟塔合一排烟方式的大气污染物扩散情况,一种新的大气污染物扩散预测模式——数值风洞模型以及物理风洞实验被用于模拟烟塔合一的环境影响,分析数值风洞模式和物理风洞实验在大气环境预测领域应用的适用性和优缺点。2个预测方法的结果表明:在烟塔合一排烟方式下,大气污染物最大落地浓度随风速增加而增加同时在冷却塔下风向存在负压区,污染物在该区域高浓度聚集。对2种方法进行比较,物理风洞实验由于受到物质和气象等条件的限制,无法得到精确的预测结果以及无法直观地描述空腔区的产生和变化规律。而数值风洞模拟具有更大的自由度和灵活性,预测出在夏季6 m/s风速下,冷却塔下风向最大落地浓度出现峰值,属于最不利的气象条件。同时该方法可利用图形化手段实现对空腔区产生、变化、破碎至再生成的全过程描述,从而建立了一种大气污染预测的重要手段。

Predicting atmospheric debris transport in real-time using a trajectory forecast model

An experiment is described in which a trajectory forecast model was used in real-time to estimate the transport of debris associated with a large chemical explosion in the south-western U.S. The forecast trajectories were used to vector sampling aircraft into a position favorable for intersecting the debris cloud. The forecasts are evaluated and compared with three independent measures of debris transport: diagnostic trajectories calculated after the experiment using observed wind fields; transport of a tracer balloon; and aircraft measurements of the debris cloud.Trajectory forecasts originating as early as 39 h before the explosion successfully predicted the downwind atmospheric drift pathway of the cloud. The forecast trajectories agreed well with diagnostic trajectories, confirming the high quality of the meteorological forecast data upon which the trajectories are based. The forecast trajectories also proved skilful in predicting real-rime atmospheric motion at short notice. The results support our conclusion that forecast trajectory models are valuable tools for vectoring sampling aircraft in long-range atmospheric dispersion experiments and operations. These models should prove useful in the future when real-time estimates of atmospheric transport are needed.     

GIS aided prediction of CO2 emission dispersion from geothermal electricity production

CO₂ is the dominant constituent of non-condensable gases in the steam phase of most geothermal fluids. This paper attempts to present the results of a study conducted to develop prediction modeling of CO₂ dispersion in the surrounding atmosphere from a planned 50 MWe geothermal power plant prior to its production. Dispersion models are widely used for predicting future concentrations of environmental emissions on a range of geographic scales. The dispersion type for gases and their average removal rate depends on the meteorological conditions such as wind direction, wind speed, precipitation, atmospheric stability, and surface roughness and topography. Geographic Information System (GIS) capabilities were used for quality visualization of the model outputs and presenting an accurate numerical copy of the study area. The results by the prediction model show that the natural transfer of CO₂ will be from the power plant toward east and northeast and CO₂ concentration trends after the power plant utilization will be similar to the background conditions with minor changes. This dispersion test was carried out to validate and field test the GIS aided dispersion modeling approach described in the paper and the procedure may be applicable for other studies assessing the emission dispersion of pollutants from a point source.

Velocity oscillations and plume dispersion in a residential neighborhood during wintertime nights

Measurements of velocity and tracer plume concentrations during stable atmospheric conditions were obtained in the Boise River Valley as part of the EPA Integrated Air Cancer Project during December, 1986. Wind speed, temperature, and wind direction were measured at two levels on a 30 m tower. Spectral and autocorrelation analyses of the velocity component data clearly indicate the occurrence of wave-like oscillations in the flow and the almost complete lack of turbulent energy. The predominate wave-like motion had an oscillation period of about 1000 s. Halogenated atmospheric tracers were released from as many as four houses during the night-time drainage conditions. Hourly averaged horizontal dispersion coefficients were very large compared to the Pasquill-Gifford curves and the urban McElroy-Pooler dispersion curves. The time-averaged dispersion coefficients formed an upper bound on very short-term dispersion coefficients obtained from mobile traverses of the tracer plume with a continuous SF₆ analyzer. These results agree with the concept of a narrow instantaneous plume with a broad meander driven by the observed 1000 s oscillation. Vertical dispersion rates were slightly smaller than the Pasquill-Gifford class F curve. Results from a single tracer release from a side canyon near the neighborhood showed that drainage flow from the tributary impacted the main residential sampling site at Elm Grove Park and represented a significant fraction of the upstream air flow at Elm Grove Park. For sources with equal emission rates, a source in the tributary adds about 10% to the mean of the concentration caused by a neighborhood source.
