Latest Developments in CFD Enable Improved Assessment of Pollution Dispersion and Re-entrainment, Odor Propagation and Air Quality
Posted on January 6, 2021In the past, dispersion of pollutants was assessed solely through smoke flow visualisation in the wind tunnel. However, as our expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has developed, so has our ability to model and visualise the movement and diffusion of common pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and even odor and […]
