The LIFE NEEVE project continues to move forward, with partners working closely together to better understand and reduce non-exhaust emissions from road transport.

Last week, our project partners RDT and CIEMAT met to continue advancing their work.

From modelling to real-world validation

With Work Package 4 now underway, the collaboration between the two partners plays a key role.

During this stage:

  • RDT focuses on CFD simulations
    (Computational Fluid Dynamics – advanced computer modelling used to simulate how particles move in air)
  • CIEMAT conduct the corresponding laboratory experiments

The combination of numerical modelling and experimental validation will be key to obtaining robust and reliable results.

In brief

Understanding how particles from brake wear, tyres and road surfaces behave in real conditions is essential for developing effective solutions to reduce non-exhaust emissions.
