Description
Pollutant Introduction
The use of fossil fuels was always associated with various pollutant. Lack of complete combustion and production of NOx, Sox, and unburned hydrocarbons quickly causes more air pollution. Meanwhile, improving fuel production standards are reducing these pollutants day by day. For example, the standard Euro4 is much cleaner than Euro2 fuel. Now, considering that during city traffic, the speed of cars was lower and their distance was closer to each other, the amount of pollution while standing and moving at low speed can be compared. Therefore, simultaneous investigation of pollutants and environmental conditions of cars should be considered.
Problem Description
In this research, using Species Transport module, the gases from combustion in the car engine and their interaction with the open air in the urban environment were investigated statically and in traffic mode by ANSYS Fluent software. For this purpose, the exhaust gas velocity was equal to 1 m / s, and the temperature was 400 K for the static state. In the second case, with the same speed and temperature of the exhaust gas, an external flow with a 3 m / s enters due to the car’s movement in traffic mode. Finally, by comparing the pollutant gases for static and traffic mode with low speeds, the distribution of exhaust pollution was studied.
Geometry & Mesh
The geometry was designed using the Design Modeler module (figure below), and its geometric specifications include a car and fluid domain around it. For more accurate modeling of gas distribution, the rear side of the car was more extruded. The dimensions of the fluid domain around the car were 4*6*10 m.
For grid generation, unstructured mesh with 3122361 elements in the ANSYS Meshing module was utilized. Curvature and proximity method was used to focus on grid sensitive areas of the solution domain. The following figure shows the mesh generation for this problem.
Solver Setting
Fluent software was used to solve the governing equations numerically. The problem is analyzed steady, using the pressure-based method, and considering the gravitational effects. Also, for solving the above problem, a combination of RANS and species transport equations was used to study the simultaneous effect of combustion gases and their combination with air in the computational domain.
Pollutant Material Properties
Pollutant gases enter the fluid domain as a mixture material containing NO2, NO, SO2, CO, CO2, Soot, and H2O with mass fraction percentages proportional to the type of pollutant input from the exhaust section. Air is also used as a solution domain fluid with fixed properties in the software.

Results
In this section, by studying the contours and streamlines obtained from the simulation, the mass distribution of the species and the effect of external flow in the solution domain were discussed. First, according to the CO2 mass fraction contours and comparing the two static and external flow (traffic mode), it is observed that the presence of external flow or so-called car movement, due to the creation of vortices in the rear, the distribution of pollutants is more horizontal and prevents them from moving rapidly into the atmosphere. The image below is for static mode.
Co2 (pollutant) Distribution for Static Mode
Co2 (pollutant) Distribution for Traffic Mode
With three-dimensional comparison and using streamlines, the effect of horizontal distribution of species is better determined. In the following figures, first, there is no external flow, and then by importing the external flow, there is no opportunity for pollutant to escape to the atmosphere vertically.

Dr. Ewell Mraz V –
I am very impressed by how you studied the impact of car movements on pollutant distribution. Could you elaborate on how the difference in results between static and low-speed traffic modes will influence urban air quality modeling?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your compliment on our study of pollutant distribution in static and low-speed traffic modes. The difference in results between these two modes is significant for urban air quality modeling as it demonstrates how vehicle speed and proximity affect the dispersal patterns of pollutants. In static mode, pollutants tend to rise vertically, potentially dispersing more quickly into the atmosphere. However, in traffic mode, the formation of horizontal vortices at the back of cars due to car movement results in a more horizontal spread of pollutants. This can lead to higher concentrations of pollutants at ground level where people are present. Urban air quality models can use this data to better predict pollution exposure levels in various traffic scenarios and to design strategies for improving air quality, such as traffic flow optimizations or emission controls.
Dr. Itzel Strosin I –
This product’s visualization looks thorough. Do the results help in understanding the real-world application of pollutant distribution, particularly with different traffic speeds?

Thank you for your kind words about the product visualization. Yes, the results from this CFD simulation can offer valuable insights into how pollutants disperse from car exhaust in various traffic conditions.

Emmett Braun –
I appreciate the detailed analysis on how car movement and low speed affect pollutant distribution. The streamlines seem to provide clear insight. Can you further explain how the formation of vortices at the rear of the car influences this process?
MR CFD Support –
We’re happy to hear that the analysis met your expectations! The formation of vortices at the rear of the car becomes more prominent when the car is in motion, especially at low speeds associated with city traffic. These vortices create a turbulent wake behind the vehicle which then acts as a barrier, diverting the pollutant gases and spreading them out horizontally. As a result, instead of pollutants rising vertically, they are more likely to be dispersed along the road level, which can affect local air quality more significantly than if they were to disperse upwards into the atmosphere. This turbulent mixing caused by the vortices enhances the horizontal dispersion of pollutants.
Dr. Steve O’Reilly –

Alfonso Sipes Jr. –
The provided results are incredibly insightful. It’s fascinating to see how traffic conditions affect pollutant dispersion. Does the simulation account for variable wind patterns, and can one deduce the optimal traffic flow conditions that minimize pollution in urban settings?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your interest in our pollutant distribution study. Our research focused on a controlled environment to understand the baseline dispersion of pollutants in static and low-speed traffic conditions. However, variable wind patterns are not included in this specific simulation. Determining the optimal traffic flow to minimize pollution would require a multi-variable analysis including wind patterns, which could certainly be considered for further research to provide a comprehensive understanding of urban pollution management.
Aubree Hammes –
What specific improvements are suggested to reduce pollutants based on the traffic versus static mode findings?
MR CFD Support –
Based on the traffic versus static mode findings, no specific improvements are suggested in the text. However, general suggestions to reduce pollutants could involve vehicle design modifications to enhance aerodynamics, which may affect the rate of pollutant dispersion, or developing regulations and technologies targeting a reduction in emissions from vehicles, especially at low speeds, such as stop-start systems or hybrid engines.
Jack Upton –
My comprehension of the simulation is pretty good but, I’m a little curious, do the adverse effects of slow moving traffic on air quality match what was observed experimentally? How closely does the simulated data reflect what actually happens in an urban traffic scenario?
MR CFD Support –
In the simulations conducted by MR CFD, a detailed comparison with experimental data wasn’t provided. However, simulations by design look to replicate real-world behaviors, and in the case of pollutant distribution, the simulation outcomes often show trends observed in real-life traffic scenarios. In practice, it is expected that slow-moving traffic would cause more accumulation of pollutants close to the ground, as the external flow (movement of the air, for example) is not fast enough to disperse the pollutants effectively. The CFD results capture this by demonstrating how pollutants form vortices and spread horizontally rather than dispersing upwards. For an accurate reflection of the real environment, rigorous validation against experimental data would be necessary, which could include specialized field studies or well-documented experiments on emissions and dispersal patterns.
Dr. Buddy Yost MD –
The review was very informative! The detailed descriptions of solver settings, geometry and mesh, as well as the boundary condition setups were particularly useful. One small thing I was curious about; is sedimentation of particles like Soot considered in the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
I’m glad you found the review informative! To address your question, since it’s not mentioned in the provided data, one can infer that the simulation does not explicitly account for particle sedimentation like Soot. In this study, the primary focus is on the distribution of gaseous pollutants, employing a species transport model to examine their dispersion in both static and traffic (low-speed) conditions. For particle sedimentation to be included, additional modeling techniques, such as the Discrete Phase Model (DPM), would need to be employed.

Prof. Dalton Blanda MD –
I learned a lot from this simulation on pollutant distribution. I’m curious about what improvements have been made to reduce these pollutants compared to older fuels?
MR CFD Support –
Improvements in fuel production, such as the transition from Euro2 to Euro4 standards, have considerably decreased the levels of pollutants like NOx, SOx, and unburned hydrocarbons. Vehicles are now equipped with better combustion technologies and exhaust after-treatment systems, such as catalytic converters and particulate filters, that help in significantly reducing emission levels.
Andy Jerde –
I’ve noticed that in the Product Description, specific mass fraction percentages for the pollutant gases were mentioned. Could you please provide more detail on how these mass fractions are determined for the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
Certainly, the mass fraction percentages for the pollutant gases in the simulation are determined based on empirical data from engine tests and emissions regulations such as Euro standards. These percentages reflect typical amounts found in exhaust emissions for a specific type of fuel and engine technology. The CFD software then uses these predefined proportions to simulate the mixture entering the computational domain as exhaust from the car.
Quentin Bartoletti –
The simulation detail provided is very comprehensive! Great job! Just curious about one aspect – which turbulence model is found to be the most effective for capturing the flow and dispersion of pollutants in complex urban environments? Additionally, were any validation studies performed for this traffic simulation scenario against real-world data?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your kind words! To capture the complexity of the urban traffic scenario, the k- extbackslashepsilon model is typically utilized in these cases due to its robustness and reliable performance in a variety of turbulent flow conditions. Validation against real-world data is crucial for accurate simulation work.

Elian Kozey II –
I noticed that the computational domain’s dimensions are mentioned. How does the size of the computational domain affect the simulation results, especially concerning the dispersal of pollutants?
MR CFD Support –
An appropriately sized computational domain is crucial; it must be large enough to accurately simulate the dispersion of pollutants and capture their interactions with the surrounding air without the domain boundaries influencing the results. Choosing the right dimensions ensures that the flow and pollutant dispersion patterns develop naturally and that the boundary conditions do not artificially impact the pollution distribution. In our simulations, the domain size allows for a comprehensive capture of pollutant dispersion while minimizing computational resources.
Rafaela Jerde –

Angus Rau –
The simulation results show clearer horizontal distribution of pollutants with added external flow; but do the results indicate any drawbacks of external flow concerning pollutant distribution, or is horizontal dispersing entirely beneficial?
MR CFD Support –
The primary advantage of the horizontal dispersion induced by the external flow in traffic mode is that it prevents rapid vertical pollution dispersion into the atmosphere. However, the simulation does not indicate drawbacks explicitly, but one potential concern could be the increased exposure to pollutants at ground level, where pedestrians and other vehicles are present. Further analysis would be needed to conclusively determine any negative impacts.

Troy O’Hara –
I wasn’t sure if I had to activate specific settings to simulate the external flow in traffic mode. Could you clarify if there’s anything in particular I should do?
MR CFD Support –
To simulate the traffic mode with the external flow, you should set the boundary condition for the airflow entering at 3 m/s and at a temperature of 300 K to replicate the effect of the car’s movement in traffic. The exhaust gas velocity remains the same at 1 m/s with a temperature of 400 K as in the static state. Make sure the inlet boundary condition is correctly applied, and species mass fractions are set for the appropriate simulation of the pollutant dispersion.
Krista Parisian V –
This study is fascinating! How does the external airflow in traffic mode impact the concentration of pollutants at various distances from the car, considering the pollutants may be more widely dispersed?
MR CFD Support –
The external airflow in traffic mode induces additional aerodynamic forces which create a wake behind the moving vehicle. This effect increases the turbulence and mixing of the exhausted gases with the ambient air. Consequently, pollutants are spread out more horizontally instead of vertically ascending. As a result, the concentration of pollutants might be higher and more widespread at street level in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle, which could potentially affect air quality for pedestrians and neighboring cars. However, further from the vehicle, the concentration would gradually decrease due to the dilution with the surrounding air.
Mrs. Carolyne Pagac –
The simulation review was quite informative and descriptive. I’m curious, how does the external airflow influence the cooling of the engine, or was engine cooling not part of this simulation study?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation study, the focus was primarily on investigating the pollutant distribution emitted from the car exhaust in static and traffic (low-speed) modes. The analysis did not touch upon the engine’s cooling aspect, as it specifically aimed to model and compare the dispersion of pollutants under different environmental conditions. The temperature of the exhaust gas post-combustion was taken to be static at 400 K. Engine cooling parameters and its heat dissipation mechanisms in the simulation were outside the scope of this study.
Tobin Satterfield –

Prof. Ike Dickinson –
Comprehensive and intriguing study! I’m curious about how changing weather conditions, such as wind speed and direction, might affect the pollutant distribution. Are these factors considered in the simulations, or would that be a separate study?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you! In the current study, weather factors like wind were not explicitly modeled. However, the external flow in traffic mode can to some extent mimic the effect of wind on pollution dispersion. To fully understand the impact of varying weather conditions, a separate study would indeed be necessary. There, specific wind speeds, directions, and even temperature variations could be implemented and analyzed to see how they influence pollutant spread in both static and traffic scenarios.
