Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation of vehicle emissions in Kampala’s Old Taxi Park. It focuses on how pollutants from idling and moving taxis (PM10, PM2.5, NO, NO₂, CO, SO₂, and VOCs) disperse within the park and nearby areas. The setup uses a 3D CAD of the park and surrounding buildings, with wind and weather conditions typical of Kampala. Vehicle activity is represented as emission sources that vary during morning (8–10 AM), afternoon (12–2 PM), and evening (4–6 PM), matching the busiest traffic times. The simulation is transient (time-dependent), meaning it tracks how pollution builds up and spreads over time. Passive scalars are used for each pollutant, and concentration maps are generated at breathing height (~1.5 m) to estimate what traders and commuters are exposed to. By comparing the three time periods, the model shows hotspots, peak exposures, and how wind and idling affect pollutant distribution in the park. - Copy
