Two independent types of log-normal particle size distributions were selected in the B-TEMOM model scheme, comprising large and small particles to represent background (i.e., the surrounding environment) and vehicle exhaust particles, respectively. Concentration distributions of exhaust and background particles derived using this model scheme were verified against results from a moving secti onal method and the bimodal quadrature method of moments, showing excellent agreement. The effects of vehicle tailpipe ex 让 cond 让 ions (e.g., exhaust particle concentrations and velocity), sulfurcontent, and relative humidity on the evoluti on of particles were investigated numerically. Both two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical simulations showed that tailpipe exit velocity and relative humid让y did not greatly affect the steady-state concentrations or the diameters of particles in urban atmospheres. Although an increase in sulfur content had little effect on the particle concentration, it led to background particles with larger geometric average diameter entering the environment. This coupled CFD-B-TEMOM numerical model provides a simple but accurate and efficient method for studying bimodal aerosol dynamics.展开更多
