3DAirQualityPrediction
1. Objectives and goals
Tha main goal is to Develop 3DAirQualityPrediction, an accurate, fast, modular, easy-to-use software framework for urban AQ prediction.
2. Main features of the framework
-
Modular framework with exchangeable solvers for modules
-
Standardized input-output data formats for each module
-
Availability in HPC oriented cloud e-infrastructure
-
Detailed modelling for AQ prediction at urban scale
-
Real 3D geometry
-
Vehicular traffic
-
CFD for dispersion → RANS and LES/DNS
-
Data integration (e.g. meteorology, vehicular traffic, authorities)
-
Validation

2.1. Preprocessing of the geometrical data: meshing

2.2. Preprocessing of the geometrical data: parametric CAD and meshing by scripts
-
Parametrization of OSPM geometry to 3D CAD geometry
-
OSPM street configuration converted to CAD geometry by script using some additional parameters (for the 3D model size)
-
CFD compatible mesh generated from CAD geometry
2.3. Preprocessing of the geometrical data: fitting the traffic geometry to the CFD mesh
Emission source location fit from traffic model to CFD mesh, calculated with in-house Java program Parametric lanes defined by some measures (distances) OpenStreetMap and the national road authority’s format

2.4. The traffic and emission modules
-
Traffic is modelled by SUMO based on calibrated historical data or by interpolating measurements from operational road traffic data
-
Emission model Copert 4 implemented in Java based on real regional fleet data
2.5. The meteorology modules
AROME model running by OMSZ (the Hungarian Meteorological Services) for the whole Carpathian basin Resulting wind fields at different heights for the demonstration area, selected automatically
2.6. The dispersion simulation
Used models (until now): ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM and Parmod CFD model components:
-
3D RANS k-ε turbulence model with calibrated coefficients
-
Humidity
-
Parks and groves as porous zones
-
Meteorological wind data as inlet boundary condition
-
Initialized with wind and temperature profiles
-
Polyhedral and hex core meshes, with/without boundary layer resolutions
-
Full transient and frozen flow field models
