Assessment of the air pollutants on automobiles emission dispersion: the effects of barrier height and the road surface temperature
In the paper, a mathematical model was constructed that describes the specifications of the wind flow and the dispersion of pollutants, taking into account the variable temperature on the roadway surface, which varies depending on the time for some quarter of the city of Almaty. The impact of the traffic tidal flow was studied based on the data of measuring passing vehicles as a source of pollution by the CFD and on the spatial distribution of pollutants for various types of pollution. A test problem was performed to validate the numerical algorithm and the mathematical model. From the obtained numerical solutions, it was determined that the existing barriers along the road have a positive effect on pedestrian zones regardless of the type of pollution. It was also found that, taking into account the variable temperature on the carriageway, the presence of barriers with a height of 4 m shows favorable behavior on the adjacent areas, in which the average concentration value drops by 6.4 times for the pedestrian zone, which is located on the left side and 2.9 times for the pedestrian zone, which is on the right side compared to the option without a barrier.
