Numerical study of the aeration of a new urban microdistrict located along a highway in Novosibirsk, Russia, was performed. The main goal of the paper was to assess whether the architectural and planning structure of the new microdistrict is optimal in terms of aeration and air quality. A scenario of particulate matter (PM10) transfer in the vicinity of the microdistrict is reproduced. Numerical modeling is performed for the prevailing wind direction. 3D numerical simulation was carried out using the Revit software to build the CAD model of the residential area and the ANSYS software was used to perform a computational experiment. Based on the calculations, numerical data were obtained on the wind speed and on PM10 concentration fields in the residential area. Favorable and unfavorable zones of the microdistrict in terms of high concentrations of PM10 at the pedestrian zones were described.
