In closed rooms with limited convection human motion can considerably affect the airflow and thus the dispersion of pollutant. However, in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations on air quality and safety for human beings this effect is generally not considered, which is mainly due to a lack of a well-founded and detailed estimation of the human behavior and the high computational cost of taking into account moving objects in CFD meshes. This work addresses this issue by coupling multidisciplinary methods to allow for a more realistic simulation of pollutant dispersion by taking into account the influence of human movements. A Social Force Model predicts trajectory and speed of each person moving in a complex environment. A lattice Boltzmann-based CFD tool provides a Large Eddy Simulation of the unsteady turbulent airflow with pollutant dispersion and thermal effects. And an Actuator Line Model supplies the CFD tool with body forces that mimic the impact of moving objects on the airflow, thus, avoiding computationally expensive dynamic meshing. The capability of the coupled model is demonstrated on three realistic evacuation scenarios with various pollutant sources and a wide range of scales (dimension from 10 to 100 m, occupation from 10 to 6000 persons). The results allow to access instantaneous environmental parameters like pollutant concentration for each person during the course of the evacuation, enabling the assessment of associated health risks.

Mesocale atmospheric flows that develop in the boundary layer or microscale flows that develop in urban areas are challenging to predict, especially due to multiscale interactions, multiphysical couplings, land and urban surface thermal and geometrical properties and turbulence. However, these different flows can indirectly and directly affect the exposure of people to deteriorated air quality or thermal environment, as well as the structural and energy loads of buildings. Therefore, the ability to accurately predict the different interacting physical processes determining these flows is of primary importance. To this end, alternative approaches based on the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) wall model large eddy simulations (WMLESs) appear particularly interesting as they provide a suitable framework to develop efficient numerical methods for the prediction of complex large or smaller scale atmospheric flows. In particular, this article summarizes recent developments and studies performed using the hybrid recursive regularized collision model for the simulation of complex or/and coupled turbulent flows. Different applications to the prediction of meteorological humid flows, urban pollutant dispersion, pedestrian wind comfort and pressure distribution on urban buildings including uncertainty quantification are especially reviewed. For these different applications, the accuracy of the developed approach was assessed by comparison with experimental and/or numerical reference data, showing a state of the art performance. Ongoing developments focus now on the validation and prediction of indoor environmental conditions including thermal mixing and pollutant dispersion in different types of rooms equipped with heat, ventilation and air conditioning systems.
