The question why UFlows should be consulted for your problem is an important one. The current standards for predictions of flow and pollutant spreading are based on Gaussian plume models. This is a strong method capable of delivering fast information. A great advantage of this approach is that it is easily scalable towards different domain sizes. From street level to areas containing hundreds of cities. This strong point however is also it's weakness. If the domain grows bigger and bigger climatological parameters will become dominant over the plume model and at street level the influence of local buildings becomes dominant over these models. A lot of research is done to improve these models, but the street level information stayed behind. UFlows wants to fill that gap by specializing in this area.
Some key factors in our approach are:

  • Accurate physics
  • Fast results
  • Affordable price

The urban geometry and vegetation have a dominant influence on the flow between buildings and therefore the spreading of chemicals and pollutants at street level. Therefore models based on the atmospheric boundary layer or big areas fail to give an accurate prediction at street level where the real safety issues are. UFlows makes predictions that take into account the city geometry and vegetation. This combined with the latest physics models makes UFlows the company of choice for accurate, fast and affordable advice of flow and dispersion in urban areas.
