Abstract

Production of turbulence due to vehicular traffic is recognised as being a dominant factor in the dilution of pollutants in street canyons under low wind speed conditions. Fast-response operational dispersion models often perform rather poorly under these conditions. Such a behaviour has been attributed to the lack of accurate Traffic Producing Turbulence (TPT) formulations within dispersion models. In this paper, two alternative TPT schemes presented in literature were implemented in the well validated WinOSPM (the Danish Operational Street Pollution Model) in addition to the original model formulation, and their performance compared.
