Abstract :
In this paper, we proposed to utilize an interactive full 3D ray tracing software package to run numerical simulation for a partially open drain structure, whose presence can be readily seen in many Asian cities. Previous research finding on this topic concentrated on the field measurement works. The reported measured results have served as a useful initial experimental basis for further numerical studies to be conducted, upon finishing which, can be taken together with the measured results to better describe the propagation characteristics in the partially open drain structures. The remaining paper describes an intervention to adopt ray tracing approach, which is widely regarded as a highly promising procedure for providing accurate and site-specific means, to obtain simulation results for a partially open drain structure.
