Numerical prediction of the distribution of black carbon in a street canyon using a semi-Lagrangian finite element formulation

We present a procedure for coupling the fluid and transport equations to model the distribution of a pollutant in a street canyon, in this case, black carbon (BC). The fluid flow is calculated with a stabilized finite element method using the Quasi-Static Variational Multiscale (QS-VMS) technique. F...
