Abstract

The wind flow around a 31-storey tower block with a low-rise block on the other side of a 20 m-wide street was computed by the SIMPLE method. The convection-diffusion equation was then used to compute the average NO_x concentration level near the building. Good agreement was found between the computer model and the field measurements. The computer model showed that the tower block induced updrafts at the leeward side of the tower to provide relief of street level pollution.
