Building downwash effects in AERMOD can be both mysterious and counter-intuitive. BREEZE Downwash Analyst takes the cryptic numerical results of AERMOD’s BPIP building pre-processor and displays them in the clearest way possible. BREEZE Downwash Analyst takes the mystery out of building downwash and gives you a deeper understanding of your model results, making it an essential tool for any serious AERMOD user.
Key Features
- Read in buildings and sources directly from BREEZE AERMOD
- Visualize buildings, sources, and their downwash effects in 3D
- View AERMOD/BPIP’s building calculations and overlay the building that AERMOD ‘sees’ over the user-entered buildings
- Calculate the Good Engineering Practice (GEP) stack height for each building
- Calculate the overall (maximum) GEP stack height and display the building and wind direction that are responsible for it
- Display the area around each building within which a stack will be affected by downwash
- Read outputs from BREEZE AERMOD to visualize exactly what building downwash effects took place at each individual hour of a model run
- Show which building will be used by AERMOD to calculate downwash effects for a given wind direction
- Visualize AERMOD/BPIP’s building grouping
