PDFMain resource tank for AQERT are the facilities and services of Texas A&M University at Qatar and of Qatar Foundation. Furthermore and since the Team is builded upon its members expertise, it has access to a number of tools and models that support and facilitate the overall and specific research activities. Some of them are:
- OSPM, Operational Street Pollution Model, a practical street pollution model, developed by the Department of Environmental Science at Aarhus University (the former National Environmental Research Institute, Department of Atmospheric Environment)
- AERMOD, A steady-state plume model that incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both surface and elevated sources, and both simple and complex terrain
- CALPUFF, an advanced non-steady-state meteorological and air quality modeling system developed by ASG scientists. The model has been adopted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in its Guideline on Air Quality Models as the preferred model for assessing long range transport of pollutants and their impacts on Federal Class I areas and on a case-by-case basis for certain near-field applications involving complex meteorological conditions
- ANSYS computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software is a comprehensive suite of products that allows you to predict, with confidence, the impact of fluid flows on your product — throughout design and manufacturing as well as during end use
