Air pollution modelling

Dynamic meteorological models, much like air pollution models, strive to describe the physics and thermodynamics of atmospheric motions as accurately as is feasible. Besides being used in conjunction with air quaHty models, they ate also used for weather forecasting. Like air quaHty models, dynamic meteorological models solve a set of partial differential equations (also called primitive equations). This set of equations, which ate fundamental to the fluid mechanics of the atmosphere, ate referred to as the Navier-Stokes equations, and describe the conservation of mass and momentum. They ate combined with equations describing energy conservation and thermodynamics in a moving fluid (72) ...
