Its impact on the environment is heavily debated, particularly in relation to 34 climate forcing attributed to emissions at cruising altitudes and the noise and the deterioration of air 35 quality at ground-level due to airport operations. This latter environmental issue is of particular 36 interest to the scientific community and policymakers, especially in relation to the breach of limit 37 and target values for many air pollutants, mainly nitrogen oxides and particulate matter, near the 38 busiest airports and the resulting consequences for public health. Despite the increased attention 39 given to aircraft emissions at ground-level and air pollution in the vicinity of airports, many 40 research gaps remain. Sources relevant to air quality include not only engine exhaust and non- 41 exhaust emissions from aircraft, but also emissions from the units providing power to the aircraft on 42 the ground, the traffic due to the airport ground service, maintenance work, heating facilities, 43 fugitive vapours from refuelling operations, kitchens and restaurants for passengers and operators, 44 intermodal transportation systems, and road traffic for transporting people and goods in and out to 45 the airport. Many of these sources have received inadequate attention, despite their high potential 46 for impact on air quality. This review aims to summarise the state-of-the-art research on aircraft 47 and airport emissions and attempts to synthesise the results of studies that have addressed this issue. 48 It also aims to describe the key characteristics of pollution, the impacts upon global and local air 49 quality and to address the future potential of research by highlighting research needs. 50 51 Keywords: Aviation; atmospheric pollution; emissions; LTO cycles; particulate matter; oxides 52 of nitrogen 53 3 54 List of abbreviations 55 AAFEX Alternative Aviation Fuel Experiment 56 AEs Airport emissions 57 APEX Aircraft Particle Emissions eXperiment 58 APU Auxliary power unit 59 BC Black carbon 60 C* Effective saturation concentration 61 CIs Chemi-ions 62 CIMS Chemical ionisation mass spectrometry 63 EC Elemental carbon 64 EI Emission index 65 EXCAVATE EXperiment to Characterise Aircraft Volatile Aerosol and Trace-species Emissions 66 F00 Engine thrust expressed as a percentage of maximum rated power 67 FGEP Fixed ground electrical power 68 FSC Fuel sulfur content 69 FT Fischer-Tropsch fuel 70 GMD Geometric number mean diameter 71 GPUs Ground power units 72 GRPs Ground running procedures 73 GSEs Ground service equipments 74 ICAO International Civil Aviation Organization 75 LTO Landing and take-off cycle 76 OC Organic carbon 77 NMHC Non-methane hydrocarbon 78 NOx Nitrogen oxides (NO+NO2) 79 NOy Reactive odd nitrogen (NOx and their oxidation products) 4 80 OA Organic aerosol 81 PAHs Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons 82 PM Particulate matter 83 PM1 Particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter less than 1 µm) 84 PM2.5 Particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 µm) 85 PM10 Particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter less than 10 µm) 86 RF Radiative forcing 87 RPK Revenue passenger kilometres 88 RTK Revenue tonne kilometres 89 SARS Severe acute respiratory syndrome 90 SIA Secondary inorganic aerosol 91 SN Smoke number 92 SOA Secondary organic aerosol 93 SVOCs Semi-volatile organic compounds 94 TC Total carbon 95 TF Turbofan engine 96 TIM Time-in-mode 97 TJ Turbojet engine 98 TP Turboprop engine 99 TS Turboshaft engine 100 UFP Ultrafine particles (diameter <100 nm) 101 UHC Unburned hydrocarbons 102 VOCs Volatile organic compounds 103 ε Abundance ratio (( SO3+H2SO4) /total sulfur) 104 ξ Partitioning coefficient 105 5 106 1. INTRODUCTION 107 Among pollution issues, poor air quality attracts a high level of interest within the scientific 108 community and engages public opinion because of the known relationship between exposure to 109 many air pollutants and increased adverse short- and long-term effects on human health (e.g., 110 Schwartz, 1997; Ayres, 1998; Brunekreef and Holgate, 2002; Kampa and Castanas, 2008; Maynard, 111 2009; Yang and Omaye, 2009; Rückerl et al., 2011). In addition, air pollution can seriously impair 112 visibility (Hyslop, 2009), may damage materials in buildings and cultural heritage (Watt et al., 113 2009; Screpanti and De Marco, 2009) and has direct and indirect effects upon climate (Ramanathan 114 and Feng, 2009). While air pollution remains a major concern for developing countries (Fenger, 115 2009; Liaquat et al., 2010) as a result of the rapid growth of population, energy demand and 116 economic growth, developed countries have experienced a significant decline in the concentrations 117 of many air pollutants over the past decade. 118 119 Airport emissions (AEs) have received increasing attention in recent years because of the rapid 120 growth of air transport volumes and the expected expansion to meet capacity needs for future years 121 (Amato et al., 2010; Kurniawan and Khardi, 2011; Kinsey et al., 2011). Most studies highlight 122 knowledge gaps (e.g., Webb et al., 2008; Wood et al., 2008a; Lee et al., 2010) which are a matter of 123 concern as the literature indicates that aircraft emissions can significantly affect air quality near 124 airports (Unal et al., 2005; Carslaw et al., 2006; Herndon et al., 2008; Carslaw et al., 2008; 125 Mazaheri et al., 2009; Dodson et al., 2009) and in their surroundings (Farias and ApSimon, 2006; 126 Peace et al., 2006; Hu et al., 2009; Amato et al., 2010; Jung et al., 2011; Hsu et al., 2012). Emission 127 standards for new types of aircraft engines have been implemented since the late 1970s by the 128 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) through the Committee on Aircraft Engine 129 Emissions (CAEE) and the subsequent Committee on Aviation Environmental Protection (CAEP). 130 One of the key actions of the ICAO committees was the provision on engine emissions in Volume 131 II of Annex 16 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, the so-called “Chicago 6 132 Convention”, which recommended protocols for the measurement of carbon monoxide (CO), 133 nitrogen oxides (NO+NO2=NOx), unburned hydrocarbons (UHC) and smoke number (SN) for new 134 engines (ICAO, 2008). Standards were listed on a certification databank (EASA, 2013), which 135 represents a benchmark for engine emissions performance and is used in many regulatory 136 evaluations (ICAO, 2011).

  • 2. Afterburners
    2. AFTERBURNERS 2.1 Introduction The simple gas turbine cycle can be designed to have good performance characteristics at a particular operating or design point. However, a particu­ lar engine does not have the capability of producing a good performance for large ranges of thrust, an inflexibility that can lead to problems when the flight program for a particular vehicle is considered. For example, many airplanes require a larger thrust during takeoff and acceleration than they do at a cruise condition. Thus, if the engine is sized for takeoff and has its design point at this condition, the engine will be too large at cruise. The vehicle performance will be penalized at cruise for the poor off-design point operation of the engine components and for the larger weight of the engine. Similar problems arise when supersonic cruise vehicles are considered. The afterburning gas turbine cycle was an early attempt to avoid some of these problems. Afterburners or augmentation devices were first added to aircraft gas turbine engines to increase their thrust during takeoff or brief periods of acceleration and supersonic flight. The devices make use of the fact that, in a gas turbine engine, the maximum gas temperature at the turbine inlet is limited by structural considerations to values less than half the adiabatic flame temperature at the stoichiometric fuel-air ratio. As a result, the gas leaving the turbine contains most of its original concentration of oxygen. This oxygen can be burned with additional fuel in a secondary combustion chamber located downstream of the turbine where temperature constraints are relaxed.

  • Implementation of a Random Forest Classifier to Examine Wildfire Predictive Modeling in Greece Using Diachronically Collected Fire Occurrence and Fire Mapping Data
    Implementation of a Random Forest classifier to examine wildfire predictive modeling in Greece using diachronically collected fire occurrence and fire mapping data Authors: Alex Apostolakis, Stella Girtsou, Charalampos Kontoes, Ioannis Papoutsis, Michalis Tsoutsos e-mails: {alex.apostolakis, sgirtsou, kontoes, ipapoutsis, mtsoutsos}@noa.gr Beyond center of excelence, IAASARS, National Observatory of Athens, Greece Presenter: Alex Apostolakis Recent Forest fire disasters 2019 Bush fires in New South Wales of Australia burned about 1.65 million hectares 2019 Brazilian Space Agency has reported an 83% increase in fire occurrences compared to the same period of the previous year. 2018 Attica wildfires spread up to a speed of 124 km/h resulting to more than a hundred casualties. Climate change impact The problem of the wildfires becomes considerably important if we account for the climate change scenarios which suggest substantial warming and increase of heat waves, drought and dry spell events across the entire Mediterranean in the future years. Model categories for fire risk prediction Theoretical (or physics-based) : Theoretical models are entirely based on equations that describe the physics of the related to the fire ignition physical phenomena like fluid mechanics, combustion and heat transfer Data-driven models : Data-driven models (also known as empirical models before the data science developments) are purely based on the correlations between data extracted from historical fire records and their related parameters. Machine learning models belong to this category. Why Machine Learning models Machine Learning algorithms are designed to automatically formulate the complex mathematical relations between the input parameters. In Physical-based models the mathematics of those relations should be known in advance.

  • Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response Forum Report
    Columbia World Projects: Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response Forum Report August 15, 2019 Foreword Dear Reader, On behalf of Columbia World Projects (CWP), we are pleased to present the following report on our Forum on Disaster Preparedness, Resilience, and Response, one of an ongoing series of meetings dedicated to bringing together academia with partners from government, non- governmental and intergovernmental organizations, the media, and the private sector to identify projects designed to tackle fundamental challenges facing humanity. Natural disasters and public health emergencies impact tens of millions of people each year. At the individual level, the impact is often felt physically, mentally, and emotionally, and can destroy homes and businesses, wipe out financial resources, uproot families, and cause lasting injuries and even deaths. At the community and regional level, the impact can be equally devastating, inflicting enormous environmental and structural damage; stalling or even reversing a society’s economic growth and development; and producing and exacerbating poverty and instability. While natural disasters and public health emergencies have been a consistent feature of human existence, the frequency and intensity of such incidents have increased over the last few decades, in significant part as a result of climate change and growing mobility. All of this has made managing disasters more urgent, more expensive, and more complex. On June 10, 2019, CWP invited approximately 35 experts from a range of fields and disciplines to take part in a Forum with the aim not only of deepening our understanding of natural disasters and public health emergencies, but also of proposing concrete ways to improve the lives of people affected by these events.

  • An Online Performance Calculator for Ramjet, Turbojet, Turbofan, and Turboprop Engines
    An Online Performance Calculator for Ramjet, Turbojet, Turbofan, and Turboprop Engines Evan P. Warner∗ Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, 24061, USA This paper documents the theory, equations, and assumptions behind an HTML-based online performance calculator for ramjet, turbojet, turbofan, and turboprop engines. Based on inputs of design parameters, flight con- ditions, and engine parameters, the specific thrust (()), thrust specific fuel consumption ()(), propulsive efficiency ([ ?), thermal efficiency ([Cℎ), and overall efficiency ([0) will be output for the engine of interest. Several sample cases are analyzed to verify the functionality of the calculator. These sample cases are derived from engines associated with Virginia Tech, which include: Pratt & Whitney’s PT6A-20 and JT15D-1, Honeywell’s TFE731-2B, and the Rolls Royce Trent 1000. With the help of this calculator, students will now be able to verify their air-breathing jet engine performance value calculations. This calculator is available here. I.

  • Modelling and Simulation of the Revolutionary Turbine Accelerator
    Announcement “This final year project was an exam. Commentary made during the presentation is not taken into account.” "Deze eindverhandeling was een examen. De tijdens de verdediging geformuleerde opmerkingen werden niet opgenomen". Preface Here I would like to thank everyone who made a contribution to my thesis. Also to all the people I forgot or do not call by name below. First of all I would like to thank my both VKI promoters. Guillermo Paniagua and Victor Fernández Villacé for their guidance, theoretical support and the help finding the exact information I was searching for. Also thanks to my KHBO promoter, Wim Vanparys who also gave me support, in addition to his clear view on the project and future considerations. Second I would like to say thank you to JeanFrançois Herbiet for his EcosimPro help, in which Victor also made his contribution, and for the information about the conical inlet and its implementation. Without the IT help of Olivier Jadot there would be no EcosimPro at the VKI, on my computer and it definitely would not be accessible at home. Also the people of the VKI library deserve a great thank you for delivering the requested papers as soon as possible which were essential to understand the working principle of the RTA. Next, a thank you to my VKI-colleagues, Piet Van den Ecker, Marylène Andre and Maarten De Moor for the great time and discussions about the occurring problems. Most of the time they helped me, without them knowing it, determining and resolving the problems. Of course to all the others as well, to keep up the spirit in the little room were we spent our time.
