Conclusions • The present simulation has reasonable agreement with the experimental data from wind tunnel experiment performed by Meroney et al (1996). • Among the turbulence models used in this study, Reynolds Stress Transport model (RSTM) shows better agreement with experiment in most of the cases. • For higher wind speeds less gaseous emission will happen on the walls of the buildings. • Particle transport and deposition on the surfaces depend on the wind speed and size of the particles. • Particle deposition is controlled by Brownian motion for low velocities and Gravity for large particles.
