| Course Purpose and Objectives: | The course aims to develop a fundamental understanding of air pollution dispersion particularly in the urban atmosphere and enable students to apply the fluid mechanical principles both in research and operational contexts. The course will cover: sources, sinks and receptors of air pollution, causes and consequences, meteorology and climatology, density-stratified fluid mechanics, internal waves, flow over topography, air quality, atmospheric chemistry, turbulence, turbulent flows including reacting flows, turbulence modelling. |
| Learning Outcomes: |
• Fundamental understanding of atmospheric dynamics and its role in air pollution dispersion, particularly considering the urban environment • Build skills in critical application of atmospheric dynamics in the dispersion of air pollution - both in the research and operational context. |
| Prerequisites: | Fluid mechanics (CEE270) and Transport Phenomena in Environmental Engineering (CEE483) |
