Introduction Ground-level pollutants from human activities and vehicles are the primary pollutant sources, which adversely affect the health and living quality of urban inhabitants. Large-scale roughness elements such as buildings and mountains can significantly modify the pollutant dispersion behaviour. The Gaussian model of plume dispersion is commonly used to estimate the downwind pollutant concentration distribution. However, one of its major parameters, the dispersion coefficient (σz), often underestimates the importance of buildings in urban areas.

Objectives The aerodynamic effects of idealized urban roughness were parameterized with a single variable – friction factor (f), which is believed to be sufficient to measure the resistance of urban roughness at constant UBL height for comparison in our previous studies (Wong and Liu, 2013). Parameterize pollutant dispersion behaviour (σz) with idealized urban roughness (f) to enrich the understanding of pollutant dispersion and removal mechanism in urban areas.

Methodology Renormalization Group (RNG) of kappa-epsilon (k-ϵ) turbulence model 2-dimensional computational domains consisting of idealized street canyons were used to represent the hypothetical urban areas A total of 144 models with eight different building shapes and eighteen different building-height-to-street-width (aspect) ratios (ARs) Covering the characteristic skimming flow, wake interference and isolated roughness regimes

Friction Factor ( f ) 𝑓= ∆𝑃 x 𝐻 𝐿 𝑈 2 2 A dimensionless number represents the surface roughness caused by different building morphology (building shapes and ARs) ∆𝑃, L 𝑓= ∆𝑃 x 𝐻 𝐿 𝑈 2 2 H

Friction Factor ( f ) vs ARs Friction Factor decreases when the street is extremely wide, it is because the wind flows and street configurations reached isolated roughness regime

Dispersion Coefficients (σz) vs Friction Factor ( f )

Conclusions The mean value of σz / x1/2 was found to be direct proportional to f1/4 with the coefficient of determination equal to 0.9407. The mean value of σz / x1/2 is close to the upper limit. Friction factor (f) is believed to be able to estimate the range of dispersion coefficients (σz) for urban areas.
