ABSTRACT

 

 

 

 After a brief introduction to the problem of resuspension as a fundamental contribution to traffic related fine particulate emissions in urban and extra-urban streets, we show our CFD approach to the simulation of the problem, describing details of applied turbulence models, dispersion models and numerical algorithms, and show results on the estimation of resuspension contribution in different traffic flow situations, depending on traffic statistics, road geometry and asphalt characteristics.
