  3. Our objective… The objective of this project is to develop and validate an integrated, state-of-the-art, high-fidelity multi-scale modeling system for the accurate and efficient prediction of urban flow and dispersion of CBRN materials. Prototype to be ready in early 2007 Development of this proposed multi-scale modeling system will provide the capability to perform real-time modeling and simulation tool to predict injuries, casualties, and contamination and to make relevant decisions (based on the strongest technical and scientific foundations) to minimize the consequences based on a pre-determined decision making framework.

Multi-scale CBRN Hazard Prediction Model for the Urban Environment Plume Dispersion Models Fluid Dynamics Models Mesoscale Mesoscale MLPD GEM/LAM BCs Urban scale Urban scale urbanLS urbanEU “Urbanized” GEM/LAM BCs Building scale Building scale urbanSTREAM urbanLS Defines Flow Defines Dispersion Source Type • CBR releases induces impacts over many spatial scales • Need multi-scale approach where flow and dispersion are performed within “nested” domains Chemical agent Biological agent Radiological agent

  6. PROJECT COMPONENTS Component 1: development of a “building aware” model for urban flow prediction (UrbanSTREAM) Component 2: inclusion of subgrid-scale urban parameterization in meso-scale NWP model (GEM-LAM) Component 3: coupling of microscale flow model with “urbanized” GEM-LAM. Component 4: development of a lagrangian stochastic model for prediction of urban dispersion (UrbanLS). Component 5: validation of fully coupled multi-scale modeling system for urban flow using field study verification data. Component 6 (new): in the context of PSTP, collaboration work with US NARAC center (LLNL) and development of methodologies for determination of emission source distribution (source reconstruction).

Data analysis work underway. Components 3: coupling work … underway Component 5: validation work…. underway

  10. Project well underway and advancing well. • Scientific challenges are being addressed one by one through extensive testing and validation. • Implementation of prototype is done in the context of the constraints of the operational environment : very practical near-real time feasability issues need to be adressed…. • Meeting at NARAC (National Atmospheric Release Advisory Center, Lawrence Livermore National Labs) on June 1-2 opens the door to collaboration and exchange on the validation of OKC cases and on issues of common interest (surface processes, coupling between met model and CFD model, etc.). Good leverage on operational issues such as trans-boundary event coordination as well as collaboration with Health Canada’s Radiological Protection Bureau (ARGOS system) • Project Review Committee (PRC) held on June 8. Positive feedback from committee members. Will need to give them an update this fall. • Many presentations at conferences, technical notes and some peer-reviewed articles
