A Lagrangian study of globally emitted aviation NOx and associated short-term O3 radiative forcing effects

The resilient growth of air travel demands a comprehensive understanding of the climate effects from aviation emissions. The current level of knowledge of the environmental repercussions of CO2 emissions is considerably higher than that of non-CO2 emissions, which includes nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), other aerosols like black...

Applications of an Embedded Seamless Hybrid RANS/LES Approach for Turbulent Dispersion over Complex Urban Areas

This work presents an application of a RANS/LES hybrid approach in simulating flows and turbulent dispersion in complex urban areas. It is demonstrated that the<br/>hybrid approach correctly captures the time-dependent behavior of the wake regions behind buildings, resulting in improvements of the total turbulent kinetic energy and, consequently...

A tunable high-pass filter for simple and inexpensive size-segregation of sub-10-nm nanoparticles

Recent advanced in the fields of nanotechnology and atmospheric sciences underline the increasing need for sizing sub-10-nm aerosol particles in a simple yet efficient way. In this article, we develop, experimentally test and model the performance of a High-Pass Electrical Mobility Filter (HP-EMF) that can be used for sizing nanoparticles...
