전산유체역학 모델링을 활용한 악취 확산 연구
Abstract
A three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with the renormalization group (RNG) k-ε turbulence model was used to simulate flow patterns and corresponding dispersion of passive H₂S pollutant in urban area with complex terrains. The major emission sources of H₂S considered in this study include the sewage disposal plant and the leather waste water disposal plant located the northwest direction from the residential area. In order to describe the flow and dispersion characteristics of H₂S in the complex terrain, the terrain data in the modeling domain was processed as the input data for the CFD model, while the previous studies were conducted in flat terrains. The recirculating flow zone was formed behind the buildings, and the pollutant concentration in the zone was noticeably high because of limited ventilation. The velocity profile and ventilation rate along the height were calculated to identify the effective zone of weak flow and re-circulation by the buildings and complex terrains. According to this study, the CFD modeling was demonstrated to be highly effective to simulate the effect of buildings and complex terrains on the flow and dispersion of odors. Detailed studies are desirable to further validate the odor dispersion with measurements under more complex flow conditions.
