Wind-tunnel flow and pollutant exchange between a street canyon and intersections

Benchmark Lab

1:400 wind-tunnel model with uniform and non-uniform roof heights at 90° and 45° wind: LDA velocities and fast-FID concentrations quantifying pollutant exchange through canyon tops and lateral openings, packaged as a CFD validation case.
