The Numerical Simulation of Uplifted Street Canyon On Flow Field Structure And Pollutant Diffusion

Abstract

The flow field structure, pollutant concentration distribution and dimensionless concentration evolution of uplifted street canyon has been analyzed in this study. Different from the ideal street canyon, the pollutant concentration distribution of the uplifting street canyon is higher at the bottom, lower at the top, higher at the windward side and lower at the leeward side. The total pollutant concentration (TPC) generally decreases with the increase of leeward building lifting height while the lift height increases with the same total building height or the total building height increases with increase in the lifting height. It is beneficial to the pollutant emission of in street canyon. On the contrary, the TPC increases when the total building height increases with the same lift height. The main reason is that the vertical length of the vortex increases, which is more difficult for pollutants to be discharged from the street canyon.
