Atmospheric Dispersion • Study flow around buildings • Study flow around ships • Patterns/footprint of clouds of materials • Tools: • CAD: Computer Aided Design • CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics • Visualization
FEFLO Model • Pre-Processing • CAD FECAD • Grid generation FRGEN3D • Solution • Flow solution FEFLO • Post-Processing • Visualization ZFEM
Inputs for CFD Models • Topography of landscape • Building heights with footprints (locations) • Other characteristics: • Surface roughness • Vegetative covers • Building materials • Data are 3D in nature • Some are commonly stored in GIS
We are here George Mason University, Fairfax, VA
Data • Topographic and Building data for GMU-Fairfax campus, VA • Original data: 5-feet contours • Converted to raster (grid) and TIN
