Abstract

Comparisons of near-surface concentrations made between Realistic Urban Spread and Transport of Intrusive Contaminants (RUSTIC), and MESO, a dispersion model, are presented. RUSTIC is a fast running urban flow model that rapidly converges to a solution to a modified set of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. The comparison was focused initially on three continuous releases of IOP-4. The results indicate that the models have some skill in predicting toxic agent concentration levels in a full-scale urban central business district.
