Numerical Simulation for a Three-Dimensional Air Pollution Measurement Model in a Heavy Traffic Area under the Bangkok Sky Train Platform

Abstract EN

Air pollutant levels in Bangkok are generally high in street tunnels.

They are particularly elevated in almost closed street tunnels such as an area under the Bangkok sky train platform with high traffic volume where dispersion is limited.

There are no air quality measurement stations in the vicinity, while the human population is high.

In this research, the numerical simulation is used to measure the air pollutant levels.

The three-dimensional air pollution measurement model in a heavy traffic area under the Bangkok sky train platform is proposed.

The finite difference techniques are employed to approximate the modelled solutions.

The vehicle air pollutant emission due to the high traffic volume is mathematically assumed by the pollutant sources term.

The simulation is also considered in averaged and moving pollutant sources due to manner vehicle emission.

The proposed approximated air pollutant concentration indicators can be replaced by user required gaseous pollutants indices such as NOx, SO2, CO, and PM2.5.
