Description:
Understanding the transport and dispersion of pollutants from traffic sources, particularly within 300 meters of a roadway is important both for urban planning and for air quality assessments. Predicting pollutant concentration patterns in complex environments depends on accurate representations of local features such as sound barriers, trees and building that may affect pollutant transport and dispersion. This study examines the effects of noise walls on the flow patterns and dispersion of pollutants from a high-traffic highway in an urban core.
