Abstract

Abstract In this study, the effects of roadside building roof shapes and roadside tree plantings on the dispersion of vehicle exhaust gas pollution in the urban street have been carefully explored. Three typical roof shapes, i.e., flat, triangle and round shapes, are considered in the present work. Firstly, the numerical simulations of air pollution transport in the atmospheric turbulent boundary layer with/without the vegetation canopy have been performed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Secondly, the mean flow patterns and the distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) are then examined. Finally, the concentrations of the air pollution have been carefully explored. It is found that the triangle roof could result in a lower concentration of air pollution in the street canyon. The existence of the roadside trees could decrease the air pollution concentration, although its influence is much weaker than the roof shape. It is also found that the concentration of air pollution is quite related to the flow pattern and TKE distribution. This study could provide helpful guidance on the urban planners on the design of the urban street in the future.
