\nEngineering students from Cornell University are coming to Kentucky to observe how trees near highways can mitigate pollution and improve human health.<\/p>\n
Doctoral candidates Khaled Hashad and Bo Yang, along with undergraduate researcher Dan Shaw, are developing a computational fluid dynamics model for the Green Heart project. Their effort will include the planting of 12,000 trees in Louisville over five years.<\/p>\n
They plan to observe the space between trees in mitigating pollution from the highway, finding the best species and assembling a model to determine which trees belong where.<\/p>\n
The Cornell team will examine leaf density, turbulence and how trees affect the flow of air from highways to neighborhoods, and determine if trees grown in a streamline shape will reduce pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
