We examine the performance of two steady-state models, a numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation and the Gaussian
plume-model-based AERMOD (the American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model), to predict
dispersion for surface releases under low wind-speed conditions. A comparison of model estimates with observations from two
tracer studies, the Prairie Grass experiment and the Idaho Falls experiment indicates that about 50% of the concentration
estimates are within a factor of two of the observations, but the scatter is large: the 95% confidence interval of the ratio
of the observed to estimated concentrations is about 4. The model based on the numerical solution of the diffusion equation
in combination with the model of Eckman (1994, Atmos Environ 28:265–272) for horizontal spread performs better than AERMOD in explaining the observations. Accounting for
meandering of the wind reduces some of the overestimation of concentrations at low wind speeds. The results deteriorate when
routine one-level observations are used to construct model inputs. An empirical modification to the similarity estimate of
the surface friction velocity reduces the underestimation at low wind speeds. 相似文献

Estimating Aerodynamic Parameters of Urban-Like Surfaces with Heterogeneous Building Heights 总被引：4，自引：4，他引：0

There are many geometrical factors than can influence the aerodynamic parameters of urban surfaces and hence the vertical
wind profiles found above. The knowledge of these parameters has applications in numerous fields, such as dispersion modelling,
wind loading calculations, and estimating the wind energy resource at urban locations. Using quasi-empirical modelling, we
estimate the dependence of the aerodynamic roughness length and zero-plane displacement for idealized urban surfaces, on the
two most significant geometrical characteristics; surface area density and building height variability. A validation of the
spatially-averaged, logarithmic wind profiles predicted by the model is carried out, via comparisons with available wind-tunnel
and numerical data for arrays of square based blocks of uniform and heterogeneous heights. The model predicts two important
properties of the aerodynamic parameters of surfaces of heterogeneous heights that have been suggested by experiments. Firstly,
the zero-plane displacement of a heterogeneous array can exceed the surface mean building height significantly. Secondly,
the characteristic peak in roughness length with respect to surface area density becomes much softer for heterogeneous arrays
compared to uniform arrays, since a variation in building height can prevent a skimming flow regime from occurring. Overall
the simple model performs well against available experimental data and may offer more accurate estimates of surface aerodynamic
parameters for complex urban surfaces compared to models that do not include height variability. 相似文献

Scalar dispersion from ground-level sources in arrays of buildings is investigated using wind-tunnel measurements and large-eddy simulation (LES). An array of uniform-height buildings of equal dimensions and an array with an additional single tall building (wind tunnel) or a periodically repeated tall building (LES) are considered. The buildings in the array are aligned and form long streets. The sensitivity of the dispersion pattern to small changes in wind direction is demonstrated. Vertical scalar fluxes are decomposed into the advective and turbulent parts and the influences of wind direction and of the presence of the tall building on the scalar flux components are evaluated. In the uniform-height array turbulent scalar fluxes are dominant, whereas the tall building produces an increase of the magnitude of advective scalar fluxes that yields the largest component. The presence of the tall building causes either an increase or a decrease to the total vertical scalar flux depending on the position of the source with respect to the tall building. The results of the simulations can be used to develop parametrizations for street-canyon dispersion models and enhance their capabilities in areas with tall buildings. 相似文献

We present a Lagrangian stochastic model of vertical dispersion in the convective boundary layer (CBL). This model is based on a generalized Langevin equation that uses the simplifying assumption that the skewed vertical velocity probability distribution is spatially homogeneous. This approach has been shown to account for two key properties of CBL turbulence associated with large-scale coherent turbulent structures: skewed vertical velocity distributions and long velocity correlation time. A 'linear-skewed' form of the generalized Langevin equation is used, which has a linear (in velocity) deterministic acceleration and a skewed random acceleration. 'Reflection' boundary conditions for selecting a new velocity for a particle that encounters a boundary were investigated, including alternatives to the standard assumption that the magnitudes of the particle incident and reflected velocities are positively correlated. Model simulations were tested using cases for which exact, analytic statistical properties of particle velocity and position are known, i.e., well-mixed spatial and velocity distributions. Simulations of laboratory experiments of CBL dispersion show that (1) the homogeneous linear-skewed Langevin equation model (as well as an alternative 'nonlinear-Gaussian' Langevin equation model) can simulate the important aspects of dispersion in the CBL, and (2) a negatively-correlated-speed reflection boundary condition simulates the observed dispersion of material near the surface in the CBL significantly better than alternative reflection boundary conditions. The homogeneous linear-skewed Langevin equation model has the advantage that it is computationally more efficient than the homogeneous nonlinear-Gaussian Langevin equation model, and considerably more efficient than inhomogeneous Langevin equation models. 相似文献

Summertime Mixing Heights At Vienna, Austria, Estimated from Vertical Soundings and by a Numerical Model 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Martin Piringer 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1998,89(1):25-45
Mixing heights calculated by the Danish OML meteorological pre-processor are compared to those diagnosed from radio- and tether-sonde vertical potential temperature profiles. All methods give reliable estimates of noon mixing heights deduced from radiosoundings, especially when the boundary layer is fully convective. Differences are larger during convective conditions without a well-defined capping inversion in the radiosonde potential temperature profile or when OML calculates a mechanical mixing height. The OML model is also able to calculate the daily course of the mixing height as expected. The tethersonde-derived mixing heights are especially valuable during the morning rise of the elevated inversion. Modifications to all three methods to improve mixing-height predictions are discussed. 相似文献

Evaluation of a micro-scale wind model’s performance over realistic building clusters using wind tunnel experiments 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The simulation performance over complex building clusters of a wind simulation model(Wind Information Field Fast Analysis model, WIFFA) in a micro-scale air pollutant dispersion model system(Urban Microscale Air Pollution dispersion Simulation model, UMAPS) is evaluated using various wind tunnel experimental data including the CEDVAL(Compilation of Experimental Data for Validation of Micro-Scale Dispersion Models) wind tunnel experiment data and the NJU-FZ experiment data(Nanjing University-Fang Zhuang neighborhood wind tunnel experiment data). The results show that the wind model can reproduce the vortexes triggered by urban buildings well, and the flow patterns in urban street canyons and building clusters can also be represented. Due to the complex shapes of buildings and their distributions, the simulation deviations/discrepancies from the measurements are usually caused by the simplification of the building shapes and the determination of the key zone sizes. The computational efficiencies of different cases are also discussed in this paper. The model has a high computational efficiency compared to traditional numerical models that solve the Navier–Stokes equations, and can produce very high-resolution(1–5 m) wind fields of a complex neighborhood scale urban building canopy(～ 1 km ×1km) in less than 3 min when run on a personal computer. 相似文献

A novel dynamic mixing length (DML) subgrid-scale (SGS) model is proposed to improve the large-eddy simulations of the wind
field and contaminant dispersion around a group of buildings. Wind field and contaminant dispersion in two kinds of building
array geometries are simulated using the model, with wind-tunnel experimental data used to validate the model. The relative
errors in the lateral profiles of the streamwise mean velocities behind the sixth row of the buildings of the staggered obstacle
array and the aligned obstacle array at the half height of the building are 15 and 9%, respectively. The DML velocity fluctuations
in the staggered and aligned obstacle arrays are in agreement with those of the experiment. The results indicate that the
DML model can make a more accurate prediction of the mean velocity and velocity fluctuations. The DML model is highly suitable
for the simulation of multi-scale turbulent flow in urban canyons, of high Reynolds number turbulent flow and of complex turbulent
flow. 相似文献

The authors suggested acceptance criteria for rural dispersion models’ performance measures in this journal in 2004. The current paper suggests modified values of acceptance criteria for urban applications and tests them with tracer data from four urban field experiments. For the arc-maximum concentrations, the fractional bias should have a magnitude <0.67 (i.e., the relative mean bias is less than a factor of 2); the normalized mean-square error should be <6 (i.e., the random scatter is less than about 2.4 times the mean); and the fraction of predictions that are within a factor of two of the observations (FAC2) should be >0.3. For all data paired in space, for which a threshold concentration must always be defined, the normalized absolute difference should be <0.50, when the threshold is three times the instrument’s limit of quantification (LOQ). An overall criterion is then applied that the total set of acceptance criteria should be satisfied in at least half of the field experiments. These acceptance criteria are applied to evaluations of the US Department of Defense’s Joint Effects Model (JEM) with tracer data from US urban field experiments in Salt Lake City (U2000), Oklahoma City (JU2003), and Manhattan (MSG05 and MID05). JEM includes the SCIPUFF dispersion model with the urban canopy option and the urban dispersion model (UDM) option. In each set of evaluations, three or four likely options are tested for meteorological inputs (e.g., a local building top wind speed, the closest National Weather Service airport observations, or outputs from numerical weather prediction models). It is found that, due to large natural variability in the urban data, there is not a large difference between the performance measures for the two model options and the three or four meteorological input options. The more detailed UDM and the state-of-the-art numerical weather models do provide a slight improvement over the other options. The proposed urban dispersion model acceptance criteria are satisfied at over half of the field experiments. 相似文献

A microscale model for air pollutant dispersion simulation in urban areas: Presentation of the model and performance over a single building 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A microscale air pollutant dispersion model system is developed for emergency response purposes. The model includes a diagnostic wind field model to simulate the wind field and a random-walk air pollutant dispersion model to simulate the pollutant concentration through consideration of the influence of urban buildings. Numerical experiments are designed to evaluate the model's performance, using CEDVAL(Compilation of Experimental Data for Validation of Microscale Dispersion Models) wind tunnel experiment data, including wind fields and air pollutant dispersion around a single building. The results show that the wind model can reproduce the vortexes triggered by urban buildings and the dispersion model simulates the pollutant concentration around buildings well. Typically, the simulation errors come from the determination of the key zones around a building or building cluster. This model has the potential for multiple applications; for example, the prediction of air pollutant dispersion and the evaluation of environmental impacts in emergency situations; urban planning scenarios;and the assessment of microscale air quality in urban areas. 相似文献

Summary The present study addresses recent achievements in better representation of the urban area structure in meteorology and dispersion
parameterisations. The setup and main outcome of several recent dispersion experiments in urban areas and their use in model
validation are discussed. The maximum concentrations generally are predicted within a factor of two by the best models. If
the plume is released down in a closely-packed set of obstacles, it is necessary to account for initial spread. If the plume
is released above the obstacles, there is less of an initial spread. For roof level releases (the BUBBLE Tracer Experiment)
the horizontal spread of the plume corresponds to a Lagrangian time scale bigger than the value for ground sources. Turbulence
measurements up to 3–5 times the building height are needed for direct use in dispersion calculations. 相似文献

A three-dimensional Lagrangian stochastic (LS) model to evaluate pollutant dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer has been developed. The model satisfies the well-mixed criterion of Thomson and allows for inhomogeneous, skew turbulence. Making use of the spherical reference frame, one of the possible solutions has been obtained. A skewed joint probability density function (PDF), which reproduces the given velocity moments (means, variances, skewness and covariances), has been built-up by a linear combination of eight Gaussian PDFs. In order to verify consistency with the well-mixed criterion, the long term results have been compared with the theoretical behaviour. A comparison between our model and Thomson's published algorithms was also carried out. By comparing wind-tunnel data and numerical predictions, a further validation of our LS model has been obtained. From an analysis of the numerical results, we can state that our model is able to evaluate dispersion in the case of complex flows where the application of previous models is unsuccessful. 相似文献

The flow and turbulence quantities governing dispersion in katabatic flows vary with both height and downslope distance. This variation cannot be accounted for in conventional plume dispersion models. In this study, three random-walk models of varying complexity are formulated to simulate dispersion in katabatic flows, and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed. The flow and turbulence parameters required by these models are determined from a high-resolution two-dimensional katabatic flow model based on a turbulent kinetic energy closure. Random-walk model calculations have been performed for several values of source height and slope angle to examine the influence of these parameters on dispersion. Finally, we simulated the perfluorocarbon and heavy methane tracer releases for Night 4 of the 1980 ASCOT field study over a nearly two-dimensional slope in Anderson Creek Valley, California. The observed peak concentrations are generally well-predicted. The effects of the pooling of the drainage air could not be taken into account in our katabatic flow model and, consequently, the predicted concentrations decay much more rapidly with time than the observed values. 相似文献

The ongoing trend of urbanisation worldwide is leading to a growing requirement for detailed flow and transport parameterisations
to be included within numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Such models often employ a simple roughness parameterisation
for urban areas, which is not particularly accurate in predicting or assessing the flow and dispersion at street scale. Moreover,
this kind of parameterisation offers too poor a representation of the mechanical and thermal forcing exerted by urban areas
on the larger scale flow. At present, high computational costs and long simulation running times are among the constraints
for the implementation of more detailed urban sub-models within NWP models. To overcome such limitations, a downscaling procedure
from the atmospheric flow at the synoptic scale to the neighbourhood scale and below, is presented in this study. This is
achieved by means of a simple urban model based on a parameterised formulation of the drag exerted by the building on the
airflow. Application of the urban model for estimating spatially-averaged mean wind speed and the urban heat island over a
selected neighbourhood area in Lisbon, Portugal, is presented. The results show the capability of the urban model to provide
more accurate mean wind and temperature profiles. Moreover, the urban model has the advantage of being cost effective, as
it requires small computational resources, and thus is suitable to be adopted in an operational context. The model is simple
enough to be also used to assess how the resolving of urban surface processes may affect those at the larger scales. 相似文献

To add to the growing mature research on the tropical 30-50 day oscillations from a new prospective,
the current work bases on dynamic analysis of baroclinic quasi-geostrophic models to discuss dynamic
mechanisms for the generation and propagation of CISK-Rossby waves, and to understand restraints and effects
of different wave structures and thermodynamic forcing on the 30-50 day oscillations in the tropical atmosphere.
Some important properties of the oscillation propagation have been explained and, in detail, with respect to its
meridional propagation and vertical “baroclinic” structure. The work has come up with some new opinions and
viewpoints. New opinions about the propagation and energy dispersion are to be proved by more observations
and study. 相似文献
