Atmospheric air pollution turbulent fluxes can be assumed proportional to the mean concentration gradient. This assumption, along with the equation of continuity, leads to the advection-diffusion equation. Moreover, large eddies are able to mix scalar quantities in a manner that is counter to the local gradient. In this work we present an analytical solution of the three-dimensional steady state advection-diffusion equation, considering nonlocal turbulence closure using the Integral Transform Technique (GILTT). Numerical results and statistical comparisons with experimental data are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
