Odor dispersion simulation around an isolated building using the SST k- model
֡*
Abstracts
In this study we investigated odor (hydrogen sulfide) dispersion around a cubic building by using commercial
FLUENT CFD code. The FLUENT Shear-Stress Transport (hereafter SST) k- turbulence model was used to
simulate odor dispersion from an odor source. The results were compared with a wind tunnel experiment and other
simulation results. SST k- turbulence model provided good grounds for making reasonable predictions about the
building surface concentrations and concentration profiles of selected leeward positions of the cubic building. It
was found that a vent, which was positioned 7 m above the top of the square building center, decreased the plume
length lower by 0.73 and increased the plume height by 1.43 compared to roof top vents. It was also found that
by increasing the vent height there a corresponding decrease in the maximum dimensionless concentration around
the roof surface.
