  1. 1. Numerical study on flow and pollutant dispersion inside street canyons

    Författare :Yang Yunkai; Martinac Ivo; Peng Shia-Hui; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Flow; Pollutant dispersion; CFD; Street canyon; Reliability; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes the characteristics of flow pattern and vehicle-emitted pollutant dispersion in roughness surface layer. In an urban environment, wind flow and transported-pollutant source interfere strongly with buildings and other roughness elements on the surface ground, which results in complex characteristics of flow pattern and pollutant dispersion in 3D circumstances.

  3. 2. Dispersion and Transformation of Traffic Exhaust Particles in the Urban Atmosphere

    Författare :Matthias Ketzel; Kärnfysik; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; condensation; deposition; dilution; particle size distribution; plume model; street canyon; traffic pollution; urban environment; turbulence; aerosol dynamics modelling; coagulation; Physics; Fysik; Fysicumarkivet A:2004:Ketzel;

    Sammanfattning : Ultrafine particles, their sources and fate in the atmosphere are currently key issues in atmospheric research owing to concern about their effects on human health and global climate. Traffic emissions are a dominating source of ultrafine particles, especially in urban areas. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Prediction of Traffic Noise Shielding by City Street Canyons

    Författare :Mikael Ögren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : Reducing the sound level on the exposed building facades due to traffic noise in cities is difficult and expensive. Creating access for the inhabitants to a quiet side can be an alternative method for reducing the annoyance. Therefore it is of interest to predict the level on shielded positions such as courtyards.

  7. 5. Prediction and Optimisation of Traffic Noise. A Study on Noise Barriers and Shielded Areas

    Författare :Pontus Thorsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; city canyon; absorption; city noise; insertion loss; traffic noise; soundscape; silent side; noise barrier; ground impedance;

    Sammanfattning : The main contribution of noise levels in cities is today road traffic. The strongest source for all road vehicles is most often the tyre-road contact. This source position close to the ground is fortunate with respect to secondary noise abatement measures, such as absorbing road surfaces or noise barriers. LÄS MER
