Air pollution caused by traffic is a major contributor to unhealthy ambient air quality in the vicinity of urban highways and puts the health of residents and pedestrians at risk. Therefore, it is imperative to examine local pollution reduction methods. The present paper is concerned with Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) of an urban area with high concentration of air pollutants. As an example of a complex surrounding morphology, the studied domain encompasses a 2.5 km stretch of high-traffic highway, a bus terminal, and the nearby residential buildings. The numerical procedure is validated with some benchmark wind tunnel and numerical data. The locations of pollution accumulation have been identified and the effect of the ambient wind speed on the change of the maximum pollution concentration points has been investigated. Furthermore, potential pollution reduction strategies for such complex morphologies have been proposed based on the geometry change to prevent the formation of critical zones of pollution accumulation. The results show that critical zones are generally formed behind the walls of upstream buildings, adjacent to the upstream wall of the highway, and in front of the walls of downstream buildings. It was also found that changes in the ambient wind speed do not significantly alter the location of these critical zones. Furthermore, increasing the distance between adjacent buildings and the highway from 21 m to 30 m, can result in an average reduction of 76% in maximum carbon monoxide concentration values. An investigation into the impact of upstream buildings height indicates that reducing the height of certain buildings can effectively diminish pollution concentration to zero in residential areas and surrounding sidewalks. Additionally, increasing the depth of the highway and erecting 2 m solid barriers on either side of the highway are identified as two other effective techniques for reducing pollution concentration on both sides of the highway. The findings can be utilised to develop novel strategies aimed at enhancing air quality for residents and pedestrians. © 2024 Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research and Control
