Wind tunnel measurement of turbulent and advective scalar fluxes, case study on an intersection ventilation
Kukačka, Libor ; Nosek, Štěpán ; Kellnerová, Radka ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
The objective of this study is to determine processes of vertical ventilation above the X-shaped intersection in an idealised symmetric urban area in several approach flow directions. An experimental set-up for simultaneous measurement of the flow velocity and the tracer gas concentration was assembled. Vertical advective and turbulent fluxes of passive contaminant were computed from synchronised measured velocity and concentration signals in a regular grid placed at the roof top level above the studied intersection. Spatial distribution and contributions of the turbulent transport to ventilation of the area were determined.
Detailed analysis of POD method applied on turbulent flow
Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor ; Uruba, Václav ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) on very turbulent flow inside the street canyon is performed. The energy contribution of each mode is yielded up. Also, physical meaning of the POD method is clarified. Particular modes of POD are assigned to the particular flow events like sweep event, vortex behind the roof or vor- tex at the bottom of street. Test of POD sensitivity on the length of data recording is done when the acquisition time increases up to its triple value. Test with decreasing sample frequency is executed. Further, interpola- tion of POD expansion coefficient is attempted in order to test possible increase in sample frequency and get new information about flow from the POD analysis. We tested linear and spline sort of interpolation and the linear one brought slightly better results.
Proper Orthogonal Decomposition of Turbulent Flow above Urban Area
Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor ; Uruba, Václav ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
This contribution describes the character of turbulent flow generated above series of street canyons in wind-channel. Main concern is to clarify how intermittent dynamics of the flow determines the ventilation process inside the canyon. Since geometry of building around street canyon significantly affects the flow regime, two shapes of building are studied and comparison of these two regimes is done. During experiment, velocity data are measured using PIV with high-repetition rate. Over than three thousand snapshots of instantaneous velocity are then analysed by Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). This method reveals the measure of coherence of the flow and decomposes the individual snapshots into dynamics modes. For example, the first mode in shear layer (localised at the roof level) contains almost 55% of global turbulent kinetic energy, what is an in
Physical modelling of pollution dispersion in complex terrain situation
Jurčáková, Klára ; Jaňour, Zbyněk ; Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor
Abstract. Airflow in the lowest part of atmosphere is due to high intensity turbulence very complicated process. This is a reason why simple and reliable model for dispersion of air pollution from its source to receptor still does not exist. Physical modelling, in which frame the model of area of interest is made, is an alternative method next to mathematical modelling. Flow and pollution dispersion is examined in the special wind tunnel in detail. Methodology of experiment preparation and of experiment itself as well as a few selected case studies will be presented in the contribution.

Tesař, Václav ; Kellnerová, Radka ; Uruba, Václav ; Něnička, Václav
Authors performed analysis by the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition procedure of two air jets, one of them naturally evolving and the other with excited two helical intsanilities in the shear leyer surriunding the core. Several modes of cogherent structures were identified, differing significantly in the case with the excitation
Wavelet and POD Analysis of Turbulent Flow Within Street Canyon
Kellnerová, Radka ; Kukačka, Libor ; Uruba, Václav ; Antoš, Pavel ; Odin, J. ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Wavelet analysis of flow inside the street canyon is applied on highrepetition PIV and high-frequency hot wire data. Experiment is performed in windchannel with floor covered by series of street canyons.The passage of sweep and ejection events is detected as being long-term signature in lower frequencies. The passage of vortex is recognizable as circular patterns in higher frequencies on Wavelet spectrum.When using velocity vectors as input data, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) reveals the most dominant modes in terms of turbulent kinetic energy.
Analýza nestacionárního proudění uvnitř ulice a dvoru
Kellnerová, Radka ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Spatial distribution of momentum flux and moments of third order of velocity components obtained from one-point measurement are investigated. The area of interest covers an inner part of street canyon and adjacent intersection. Time-averaged momentum flux were divided into particular quadrants using Quadrant analysis method. Comparison between flux events and skewness provides some insight into the spatial distribution of strong intermittent tendency and explain better the spatially local dominance of sweep and ejection.
Fyzikální modelování změn difúze znečišťujících látek v oblasti křižovatky v závislosti na směru nabíhajícího proudění
Kukačka, Libor ; Jurčáková, Klára ; Kellnerová, Radka ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
The objective of this study is physical modelling of emissions from vehicle exhausts in street canyons within an urban area and the influence of the approach flow direction on contaminant spreading. The requirements of the similarity of the atmospheric boundary layer and a boundary layer in the wind tunnel are satisfied. For several flow directions mean velocity and concentration fields are measured within street canyon intersection inside symmetrical urban built-up area. Scalar fluxes are computed from measured data to quantify pollutant spreading. Results of the experiment show a significant sensitivity of the mean velocity field on the approach flow direction. The approach flow extensively influence contaminant spreading within the built-up area and therefore intensity of street canyons ventilation vary with the approach flow direction. The approximate flow direction with the most favourable dispersion conditions in the studied area is found out.
Turbulent Boundary Layer generated Over Two Urban Roughnesses
Kellnerová, Radka ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
As a basis for PIV measurement, turbulent characteristics of a flow were investigated by LDA over two different types of urban roughness in wind-tunnel. The roughness consists from long series of street canyons with unit aspect ratio. Different shapes of roof - flat and pitched - provide a different internal boundary layer above canyons. The latter one, generated by pitched roofs, is significantly more turbulent and thus slower then above flat roofs. Momentum flux and corresponding transport exhibits the largest deviation specially at the roof level. Ventilation in the streets is therefore distinct from each other. Quadrant analysis was applied for vertical profiles and cross-sectional areas in canyons in order to detect a domination of sweep or ejection events and to find a linkage to the third moment of velocity for both cases. The overall goal of the project is to find any of coherent structure produced by the roof edge as a low momentum region or an ejection formed by hairpin.

Kellnerová, Radka ; Jaňour, Zbyněk
Contribution poses flow characteristics of symmetric very rough turbulent layer in wind-tunnel Wotan in Hamburg. Measurement was conducted using 2-D component LDA with high temporal resolution. Requirements for generating a top quality boundary layer with consistent parameters that follow up-to-date science of physical modeling are described and explained. Main attention was focused on linkage between integral length scale and turbulence intensity Ix and Iz according to guideline VDI.
