Summary This study is to verify the need to apply the computational fluid dynamics model in predicting roadside air quality concentrations nearby roads. We compared and analyzed the calculation results by Plume or Puff model and computational fluid dynamics model and measured values, summarized its applicability. As a result, the need to apply the computational fluid dynamic model at the present time was only in street canyon.
