Dispersion of toxic gases (CO and CO2) by 2D numerical simulation

Abstract

It is known that air pollution is responsible for causing numerous respiratory problems in the population, and in critical situations can even lead people to death. Because of this, a study was started here to analyze the amount of carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which cars that run daily on a highway near the city of Lorena-SP-Brazil scatter through the air. From a study carried out using the software COMSOL Multiphysics® three different situations (geometries) will be simulated numerically and a discussion will be presented.
