- Abstract:
- The project will investigate the turbulent flow patterns within urban street canyons of varying geometries within two urban areas of differing building densities, The measurements will provide the fundamental research needed to develop and evaluate dispersion models capable of representing turbulent fluctuations in the urban environment and the complex interactions between synoptic weather, street canyon geometries and traffic generated turbulence. The research will categorise flow patterns within a canyon by monitoring turbulence profiles simultaneously with traffic flows and roof top and reference meteorological measurements. Turbulent statistics will be determined with respect to these external parameters and used within the development of a kinematic turbulence model for predicting concentration statistics. Predictions will be compared against measurements in collaboration with the Leeds LANTERN project.
