Numerical Prediction of Dispersion Characteristics in an Urban Area Based on Grid Refinement and Various Turbulence Models

A detailed simulation of the Goettinger Strasse pollutantdispersion problem is performed using the CFD code CFX-TASCflow for different wind directions. Two turbulencemodels, the k- and the RSM are adopted on three gridrefinement levels. Besides the typical reference gridimplemented by the TRAPOS group, two different gridresolutions are introduced. The first refinement is in thewhole street canyon region on the x-y level, while thesecond one is local in all three directions. Validation ofall involved computational schemes is performed based onrelative available experimental data. The computed velocityfields and concentration contours imply that the typicalreference grid is a suitable choice for the velocityfields, while local grid refinement in all three directionsin a small region containing the receptor is required toupgrade the pollutant concentration results with modestadditional computational effort. Finally the RSM modelresulted in smaller concentration levels. The k-model compared to the RSM seems a more appropriate choiceto solve this particular problem.     

Atmospheric Levels of Nitrogen Oxides at a Greek Oil Refinery Compared with the Urban Measurements in Athens

Oil refining is among the industrial activities that emit considerable amounts of air pollutants into the atmosphere. Nitrogen oxides are important air pollutants that are emitted by oil refineries as products of combustion processes. The ambient air concentrations of nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) were monitored continuously at a site close to an oil refinery, near the city of Corinth in Greece, during autumn 1997 together with the main meteorological parameters. The contribution of the oil refinery to the measured atmospheric levels of nitrogen oxides was estimated. The ambient air concentration of nitrogen oxides in the area surrounding the oil refinery were generally lower than the ambient air concentrations in the urban area of Athens in Greece, and the NO₂ levels were always below the existing air quality standards. The influence of the refinery emitted NO_x in the photochemical production of ozone seems to be more important in terms of human and vegetation exposure given the high ozone backgrounds measured in the area.     

海洋石油污染对海气正常交换过程的破坏性影响

世界海洋石油污染物的地理分布特点受到污染源和大气环流的影响,分布很有规律。石油所形成的薄膜漂浮于海面上,其反射的阳光比海大小2－4倍,使上层海水吸收的太阳热量减少10％,同时,通过海气界面向大气输送的水汽减少,使之接近于零;海面风传递给海面的动力通量锐减,大大阻碍了海水中盐颗粒向大气中飞溅和海水对大气中O2和CO2气体的吸收,从而严重影响到海－气相互作用的每一个过程和海洋生物的繁衍生息。

人工神经网络方法在资源与环境预测方面的应用

用人工神经网络方法对不同水域、不同环境因子之间非线性和不确定性的复杂关系进行学习训练并预测检验。结果表明：人工神经网络方法在模拟和预测方面 优于传统的统计回归模型,在资源与环境方面的应用是可行的。具有较强的模拟预测能力。与传统的回归模型相比,人工神经网络方法不要求监测数据具有很强的规律性,就可用后的网络模型对其进行预报,燕且预测相对误差均比回归模型预测相对误差要小,具有一定的实用性。两个实例的应用     

长江流域生态环境的保护与生态城市建设

从城市经济系统来看,生态城市既要保证经济的持续增长,更要保证增长率的质量。也就是说,生态城市要有合理的产业结构、能源结构和生产而局,使城市的经济系统和生态系统能协调发展,形成良性循环,实现城市经济社会与生态环境效益的统一。长江流域生态环境的恶化已经严重影响到整个长江流域经济的发展。长江流域生态城市建设就是把环境发展与生产力发展联系起来是以各大城市生态建设为主导把各个大城市建设成为全流域的生态城市中     

城市灾害学研究及科学建议

无论从哪个角度来看,２０世纪都是历史发展最快,发生事件最多的一个世纪。城市由于是对时代脉搏最敏感空间地域,所以,时时处处反映出时代的特点。城市灾害作为现代及未来灾害的集中反映,越来越成为严峻的话题。无论承认与否,城市化发展进程中将始终伴随着灾情。笔者认为,惟有直面灾情,全面关注城市灾害及其在中国减灾中的地位与作用,才有希望走向未来,并创造城市安全“时空”。
