Dispersion of Airborne Material Predicting, visualizing, and understanding the dispersion of airborne material can be a critical step in addressing current or future air quality problems in urban environments. Many dispersion models currently in use are over a decade old and struggle to capture the three-dimensional effects critical in these situations. These models were designed to run on the computers of the time and hence were limited in the degree of geometric complexity they could handle. Accurate prediction of the dispersion of airborne material in an urban environment demands complex three-dimensional modeling software and equally sophisticated visualization tools. In many situations, understanding the transport of airborne material is complicated by surrounding mountains or local hills and valleys. Virtualwind is developing software to address the dispersion of airborne material in urban and complex rural environments, with tools to easily collect, visualize, and post-process airborne material concentration information. |
