Numerical Simulation of the CO2 Emission in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer Environment around the Iranian Aluminum Company and the Presentation of the Most Appropriate Green Space Pattern

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from output chimneys in various industries are considered as one of the main sources of air pollution and an important factor in air quality assessment. During the last few years, many researchers have studied in this field. (Crasto (2007), Stockie (2011), Rigby (2007)). In the present study, the effect of topographic, atmospheric and building factors on the CO2 emissions from the “Iranian Aluminum Company” in the atmospheric boundary layer are investigated. The geographic location of “Iranian Aluminum Company” in Arak city has raised the company as one of the major sources of air pollution in this city. In addition, using numerical results in ANSYS FLUENT software, the impact of city buildings on the diffusion of pollutants with regard to wind direction is modeled and verified. After that, we calculate the green space needed around the company; then, the most appropriate green space pattern is extracted.
