Nano-particle dispersion

The theme of nano-particle dispersion in the atmosphere has established a new area of environmental flow research, in collaboration with colleagues in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.

The initial focus was on vehicle pollution, in particular processes that determine particle dispersion in vehicle wakes. This was the first project to utilise the new rolling road capability of the ‘Aero’ wind tunnel, a facility developed under SRIF 4 funding.
