Modelling of air pollution from road traffic
by F. Hesek
International Journal of Environment and Pollution (IJEP), Vol. 16, No. 1/2/3/4/5/6, 2001

Abstract: This paper presents the basic principles of the method of calculating air pollution from road traffic in an urban built-up area. The algorithm of the method is based on the numerical integration of stationary two-dimensional partial differential equations of turbulent diffusion, with boundary conditions for the street canyons. The method consists of two modules: KALIB and STREETS, which calculate the distribution of pollutant concentration in a street canyon; and GRID and GRIDMAX, which calculate the distribution of pollutant concentration in the free atmosphere. The output of the method is given in numerical and graphical form.
