Wind tunnel measurements of particulate matter concentration and wind speed to determine the deposition effect of urban green

This dataset contains measurements of particulate matter (PM) concentration and wind speed at the in- and outlet of a test section of an open-circuit wind tunnel to study PM deposition on urban green. The vegetation under study was the climber species <em>Hedera Helix</em>, which was grown against a screen in a planter. PM was introduced in the wind tunnel at the inlet bend (number 2 on the figure WT-design) and consisted of a mixture of Arizona fine test dust (d_p &gt; 0.3 µm) and soot (d_p &lt; 0.3 µm). The concentration measurements were performed with an optical particle sizer and a scanning mobility particle analyser. Wind speed was measured with a hot wire anemometer. Details of the files can be found in README.txt. This research was performed by the Sustainable Energy, Air and Water Technology (DuEL) group at the University of Antwerp (Belgium).
