Random-walk model simulation of air pollutant dispersion in atmospheric boundary layer in China.
In this study, the land-sea breeze circulation model coupled with a random-walk model is developed by the analysis of the formation and the mechanism of the land-sea breeze. Based on the data of the land-sea circulation in Dalian, China, the model simulated the diurnal variation of pressure, flow, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy field and also provides a basis for solving the air pollutant concentration in the land-sea breeze circulation so as to estimate the economic cost attributable to the atmospheric pollution. The air pollutant concentration in the background of land-sea circulation is also simulated by a Gaussian dispersion model, and the results revealed that the land-sea circulation model coupled with the random-walk model gives a reasonable description of air pollutant dispersion in coastal areas.
