Numerical modelling of gas dispersion from road tunnels in urban environments: comparison with field experiment data
Numerical computations and field experiments of the dispersion of a tracer gas from a road tunnel in Paris are compared. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations, combined with the k-ε turbulence model of Chen and Kim, are solved using the finite-volume code PHOENICS. Results are shown to be sensitive to the turbulence modelling and to the parameterisation of turbulence and drag forces generated by traffic.
