Improvement and Validation of a Fast Response Flow Field and Dispersion Model for Urban Environments

Principal Investigator: Dr. Akula Venkatram

Sponsor: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)

       


 

The Los Alamos National Laboratory funded UC-Riverside to improve and validate a fast response flow field and dispersion model for urban environments. This model is called QUIC (Quick Urban Industrial Complex) model, originally developed by LANL.

 

We used CE-CERT parking lot experiment to evaluate our model.
