Large-eddy simulation of aerosol concentrations in a realistic urban environment: Model validation and transport mechanism

PALM model system demonstrates good performance compared to portable instruments. Pollutant distributions have greater complexity than seen in idealized domains. Different aerosol …

Large-eddy simulation of the optimal street-tree layout for pedestrian-level aerosol particle concentrations – A case study from a city-boulevard

The spatial variability of air pollutant concentrations was experimentally evaluated using observations from a mobile laboratory and a drone. We observed that both mean flow and …

Quantifying the coastal urban surface layer structure using distributed temperature sensing in Helsinki, Finland

To study the complex structure of the lowest tens of metres of atmosphere in urban areas, measurement methods with great spatial and temporal coverage are needed. In our study, we …

Sensitivity of spatial aerosol particle distributions to the boundary conditions in the PALM model system 6.0

High-resolution modelling is needed to solve the aerosol concentrations in a complex urban area. Here, the performance of an aerosol module within the PALM model to simulate the …

Large-eddy simulation of the optimal street-tree layout for pedestrian-level aerosol particle concentrations – A case study from a city-boulevard

Street trees weaken pollutant dispersion but also enhance removal by dry deposition. Aerosol dispersion and size-specific dry deposition are studied within urban LES. Generally …
