A student at PKNU is the recipient of the best paper presentation award

- Kim Min-Ji in major of environmental atmospheric sciences at the division of earth environmental system sciences

 

Pukyong National University (President Jang Young-Soo) announced that Kim Min-Ji (2nd-year student in master's course) in major of environmental atmospheric sciences at the division of earth environmental system sciences won the best paper presentation award at the Korean meteorological society's (Director Ha Kyeong-Ja) spring conference of 2022.

 

Kim received the best paper presentation award for her thesis, 'effect of building facades and atmospheric stability on the contaminant diffusion in urban areas' (advisory professor Kim Jae-Jin) at the 'Environment and applied meteorology' section of the 2022 spring academic conference of the Korean meteorological society recently held in BEXCO, Busan.

 

She was praised for presenting the research results of analyzing the spatial distribution of hazardous air pollutants and airflow characteristics of building canyon for predicting and improving air quality in urban areas in this paper.

 

She conducted a numerical experiment in which atmospheric stability parameters were applied using a computational fluid dynamics model on a building with a balcony, which is a typical residential building facade (front) shape.

 

As a result of the study, it was found that the building facade had the effect of blocking the diffusion of air pollutants in the building canyon regionally and increasing the concentration of air pollutants in the lower layer of the building canyon. It was found that the change in atmospheric stability also affects the change in the distribution of air pollutant concentration in the building canyon.

 

Kim succeeded in obtaining these research results by analyzing high-resolution microscale atmospheric flow in detail with a computational fluid dynamics model and simulating complex turbulence and flow in urban areas.

 

Founded in 1963, the Korean meteorological society has contributed to the development, practical application, and dissemination of meteorology, and to contribute to national development through scientific and technological R&D and information exchange including academic events, conduct various activities with over 3,000 experts. <Pukyong Today>
