Cover Story: Plume emissions from large boats can carry a number of pollutants to nearby cities, causing a detrimental effect on the life quality and health of coastal city populations and ecosystems. The interplay between dominant winds, local orography, and local buildings determine how much pollution will reach populated areas. A computational fluid dynamics model of the harbor area of Tromsø (Norway) has been built in order to understand the traces of polluting gas in the city due to exhaust emissions in detail.
