In this paper the sea breeze dynamics in Oran agglomeration atmosphere, in the north Algeria, is investigated and analyzed by a numerical simulation of Oran agglomeration atmosphere, using SUBMESO model during diurnal cycle of June 24, 2010, in order to predict the spatio-temporal starting of sea breeze, its intensity and relative direction through atmospheric flow variations analysis, and to evaluate the role of thermal circulations on sea breeze direction, intensity and ventilation and its effect on pollutant transport. The study of this area has not been investigated or analyzed in any framework, the numerical simulation was preceded by a topographic and surface data processing in order to generate the grid simulation, with a specific characteristics used by the SUBEMESO and SM2-U (Soil Model for Sub-Meso scales Urbanized) models. This simulation allowed us to know all sea breeze characteristics during the study period.

Abstract The present work aimed to select the optimum solar tracking mode for parabolic trough concentrating collectors using numerical simulation. The current work involved: (1) the calculation of daily solar radiation on the Earth’s surface, (2) the comparison of annual direct solar radiation received under different tracking modes and (3) the determination of optimum tilt angle for the north-south tilt tracking mode. It was found that the order of solar radiation received in Shanghai under the available tracking modes was: dual-axis tracking > north-south Earth’s axis tracking > north-south tilt tracking (β = 15°) > north-south tilt tracking (β = 45) > north-south horizontal tracking > east-west horizontal tracking. Single-axis solar tracking modes feature simple structures and low cost. This study also found that the solar radiation received under the north-south tilt tracking mode was higher than that of the north-south Earth’s axis tracking mode in 7 out of 12 months. Therefore, the north-south tilt tracking mode was studied separately to determine the corresponding optimum tilt angles in Haikou, Lhasa, Shanghai, Beijing and Hohhot, respectively, which were shown as follows: 18.81°, 27.29°, 28.67°, 36.21° and 37.97°.

This paper carries out a numerical simulation of the atmospheric flow field around bridge. The variation law of airflow field around bridge is studied. Velocity and pressure distribution laws of flow field in horizontal plane and the cross-section are discussed, and influence range of flow field around bridge area is identified.
