The three-phase plume model (for predicting plume rise) is linked to the Gaussian plume model (for predicting dispersion from a non-buoyant source) by demonstration that the entrainment velocity associated with the third phase of the plume rise is of identical functional form to that derived for Fickian diffusion. 相似文献

Fluctuating plume models provide a useful conceptual paradigm in the understanding of plume dispersion in a turbulent flow.
In particular, these models have enabled analytical predictions of higher-order concentration moments, and the form of the
one-point concentration probability density function (PDF). In this paper, we extend the traditional formalism of these models,
grounded in the theory of homogeneous and isotropic turbulent flow, to two cases: namely, a simple sheared boundary layer
and a large array of regular obstacles. Some very high-resolution measurements of plume dispersion in a water channel, obtained
using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) line-scan techniques are utilised. These data enable us to extract time series of plume
centroid position (plume meander) and dispersion in the relative frame of reference in unprecedented detail. Consequently,
experimentally extracted PDFs are able to be directly compared with various theoretical forms proposed in the literature.
This includes the PDF of plume centroid motion, the PDF of concentration in the relative frame, and a variety of concentration
moments in the absolute and relative frames of reference. The analysis confirms the accuracy of some previously proposed functional
forms of model components used in fluctuating plume models, as well as suggesting some new forms necessary to deal with the
complex boundary conditions in the spatial domain. 相似文献

Experimental data for buoyant plumes released from high sources into layers having little ambient turbulence show that plume dispersion parameters vary in a manner similar to that during initial plume rise. This is consistent with general plume rise theory. Dispersion of plumes from tall stacks in a shoreline environment where a thermal internal boundary layer is formed often demonstrates this behaviour. 相似文献

Summary The present study addresses recent achievements in better representation of the urban area structure in meteorology and dispersion
parameterisations. The setup and main outcome of several recent dispersion experiments in urban areas and their use in model
validation are discussed. The maximum concentrations generally are predicted within a factor of two by the best models. If
the plume is released down in a closely-packed set of obstacles, it is necessary to account for initial spread. If the plume
is released above the obstacles, there is less of an initial spread. For roof level releases (the BUBBLE Tracer Experiment)
the horizontal spread of the plume corresponds to a Lagrangian time scale bigger than the value for ground sources. Turbulence
measurements up to 3–5 times the building height are needed for direct use in dispersion calculations. 相似文献

The mean concentration distributionwithin a plume released from a point source in the atmosphericboundary layer can be greatly influenced by the systematic turningof wind with height (i.e. vertical wind direction shear). Such aninfluence includes a deflection of the plume centroid, with anassociated shearing of the vertical plume cross-section, and anenhancement of dispersion, in the horizontal plane. Wind directionshear is normally not accounted for in coastal fumigation models,although dispersion observations with shear acting as acontrolling parameter are not uncommon. A three-dimensionalLagrangian stochastic model is used to investigate the influenceof uniform wind direction shear on the diffusion of a point-sourceplume within the horizontally homogeneous convective boundarylayer, with the source located at the top of the boundary layer.Parameterisations are developed for the plume deflection andenhanced dispersion due to shear within the framework of aprobability density function (PDF) approach, and compared with theLagrangian model results. These parameterisations are thenincorporated into two applied coastal fumigation models: a PDFmodel, and a commonly used model that assumes uniform andinstantaneous mixing in the vertical direction. The PDF modelrepresents the vertical mixing process more realistically. A moreefficient version of the PDF model, which assumes a well-mixedconcentration distribution in the vertical at large times, isapplied to simulate sulfur dioxide data from the Kwinana CoastalFumigation Study. A comparison between the model results and thedata show that the model performs much better when the wind-sheareffects are included. 相似文献

Dispersion of a Point-Source Release of a Passive Scalar Through an Urban-Like Array for Different Wind Directions 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
The dispersion of a point-source release of a passive scalar in a regular array of cubical, urban-like, obstacles is investigated
by means of direct numerical simulations. The simulations are conducted under conditions of neutral stability and fully rough
turbulent flow, at a roughness Reynolds number of Re
τ
= 500. The Navier–Stokes and scalar equations are integrated assuming a constant rate release from a point source close to
the ground within the array. We focus on short-range dispersion, when most of the material is still within the building canopy.
Mean and fluctuating concentrations are computed for three different pressure gradient directions (0°, 30°, 45°). The results
agree well with available experimental data measured in a water channel for a flow angle of 0°. Profiles of mean concentration
and the three-dimensional structure of the dispersion pattern are compared for the different forcing angles. A number of processes
affecting the plume structure are identified and discussed, including: (i) advection or channelling of scalar down ‘streets’,
(ii) lateral dispersion by turbulent fluctuations and topological dispersion induced by dividing streamlines around buildings,
(iii) skewing of the plume due to flow turning with height, (iv) detrainment by turbulent dispersion or mean recirculation,
(v) entrainment and release of scalar in building wakes, giving rise to ‘secondary sources’, (vi) plume meandering due to
unsteady turbulent fluctuations. Finally, results on relative concentration fluctuations are presented and compared with the
literature for point source dispersion over flat terrain and urban arrays. 相似文献

We investigate the influence of the regional-scale weather types on the atmospheric dispersion processes of the air pollutants originated from point sources. Hypothetical accidents were simulated with two different dispersion models. During a year’s test period, the 6-h emission of a radionuclide from the Paks Nuclear Power Plant (Paks NPP, Hungary) was assumed every day and the transport and deposition of the radionuclide was simulated by the Eulerian TREX dispersion model over the Central European region. In addition, the ALOHA Gaussian air dispersion model was also used for the local environment of the Paks NPP to simulate hypothetical hourly releases of ammonia during a 10-year period. During both types of model simulations, the dispersion of the plume for each time was analysed and tested with consideration of 13 circulation types corresponding to daily weather patterns over the Carpathian Basin. There are significant correlations between circulation types and plume directions and structures both in local and regional scales. The daily circulation pattern can be easily obtained from weather analyses; the expected size and direction of polluted area after an accidental release can be quickly estimated even before an accident occurs. However, this fast method cannot replace or neglect dispersion model simulations. It gives a ‘first guess’ and a fast estimation on the direction of the plume and can provide sufficient information for decision-making strategies. 相似文献

For the dispersion of buoyant material, the interaction with the environment by entrainment forms a serious obstacle for a formulation in a Lagrangian framework. Nevertheless an outline is given here on how buoyant plume rise in a Lagrangian sense could be described. Though the method contains a number of heuristic elements, it has all the advantages of a Lagrangian formulation. It is shown that it is possible to formulate a Lagrangian model which both is able to recover the classical formulations for plume rise in a calm environment and to accomodate more recent Eulerian formulations in a turbulent environment. Moreover, the method offers excellent possibilities to include the turbulent characteristics of the plume's environment and arbitrary stratifications of the boundary layer. These facts make it attractive for various practical applications. Some examples are given which illustrate this. 相似文献

The effects of a pressure jump and a following internal gravity wave on turbulence and plume diffusion in the stable planetary
boundary layer are examined. The pressure jump was accompanied by a sudden increase in turbulence and plume dispersion. The
effects of wave perturbations on turbulence statistics are analysed by calculating fluxes and variances with and without the
wave signal for averaging times ranging from 1 to 30 min. The wave signals are obtained using a band-pass filter. It is shown
that second-order turbulence quantities calculated without first subtracting the wave perturbations from the time are greater
than those calculated when the wave signal is separated from the turbulence. Estimates of the vertical dispersion of an elevated
tracer plume in the stable boundary layer are made using an elastic backscatter lidar. Plume dispersion observed 25 m downwind
of the source increases rapidly with the arrival of the flow disturbances. Measured plume dispersion and plume centreline
height correlate with the standard deviation of the vertical velocity but not with the wave signal. 相似文献

An analysis of wind tunnel data of dispersion from elevated point sources over a flat floor and gently sloping, 2-D hills is performed. (The data were obtained by Khurshudyan et al., 1981.) Formulas for the mixing lengths and the Lagrangian time scales are tested, suitable for use in various dispersion models. Some expressions for the vertical first moments of the plume concentration distribution suitable for shear flow (Hunt, 1985) are also tested.Then, a normalization is suggested, based on the source mean flow and turbulence parameters, for the ground-level concentration maximum value and position along the plume centerline. Using this normalization, the maximum position is almost constant, regardless of source height variation and of whether the hill is present or not, at least for source positions upstream or over the top.The maximum values allow the determination of normalized terrain amplification factors TAFN, which are shown to be in most cases closer to one than the corresponding TAF obtained without normalization. 相似文献

Meteorological measurements were carried out at North Chennai semi rural area during pre-monsoon period as a part of an air quality study program. Analysis of the data showed the effects of coastal terrain namely the land-sea breeze circulation, temperature cooling during the sea breeze, difference in onset times at these sites etc. Sea breeze onset was observed with a sharp turning of the wind from westerly to south easterly associated with rise in wind speed. Advection speed of the front was about 2.0 m s− 1. A simple mesoscale meteorological model (MAM-I) developed at Kalpakkam for coastal atmospheric dispersion estimation was used to simulate the observed characteristics. All the major features observed could be simulated by the model while significant difference was noticed in sea breeze frontal movement. MAM results were also inter-compared with MM5. There were no significant differences in the estimate of mean parameters by both the models. It is concluded that the simple model, which takes less run time in a desktop PC, is adequate enough for practical application of providing wind field for plume dispersion models at coastal sites. 相似文献

Large-eddy simulations (LES) and Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) computations of pollutant dispersion are reported for the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) field experiment flow. In particular we address the effects of incident wind angle deviation on the mean velocity and on the mean concentration fields. Both computational fluid dynamical methods are assessed by comparing the simulation results with experimental field data. The comparative analysis proposes to relate the plume deflection with the flow channelling effects. The results show that the plume deflection angle varies with the altitude. As the ground is approached the plume is shown to be almost aligned with the street canyon direction and independent of the incident wind directions considered. At higher altitudes well above the obstacles, the plume direction is aligned with the mean wind direction as in dispersion over flat terrain. The near-ground plume deflection is the consequence of a strong channelling effect in the region near the ground. The mean concentration profiles predicted by LES and RANS are both in good qualitative agreement with experimental data but exhibit discrepancies that can be partly explained by the influence of small incident wind angle deviation effects. Compared to RANS, LES predicts a higher channelling and thus a higher deflection of the plume. Results on the fluctuating intensity of the concentration obtained from LES show a satisfactory agreement with experiments. This information is not available from RANS for which only the mean concentration modelling is considered. 相似文献

Design criteria for water tank models of dispersion in the planetary convective boundary layer 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Design criteria for laboratory water-analogs of clear-air penetrative convection in the atmosphere are described. Consideration is given to the range of factors relevant to modelling both turbulent penetrative convection and the dispersion of buoyant point-source plumes within the convective boundary layer. Scaling arguments based on mixed-layer and plume scaling show that at typical laboratory scales, saline convection can satisfy the requirements for modelling buoyant plume dispersion under strongly convective (light wind) conditions better than heated water tanks or wind tunnels. 相似文献

An extensive data base of LIDAR and photographically measured plumes from the Nanticoke thermal generating station (located on the north shore of Lake Erie) has been accumulated over several years of full-scale atmospheric experiments. Analysis of the data shows that the empirical entrainment constant used in the Briggs simple plume rise formulation has a value of 0.8, which is significantly larger than 0.6 found by Briggs (1975). A hypothesis is proposed that mesoscale eddies present in the land/lake environment are responsible for vertical plume meander leading to the observed enhanced vertical plume spread and lower mean plume rise at this site. This is substantiated through theoretical considerations and experimental data. The results are significant in the computation of ground-level concentrations at such complex terrain sites. 相似文献

A Lagrangian particle dispersion model (LPDM) driven by velocity fields from large-eddy simulations (LESs) is used to determine the mean and variability of plume dispersion in a highly convective planetary boundary layer (PBL). The total velocity of a “particle” is divided into resolved and unresolved or random (subfilter scale, SFS) velocities with the resolved component obtained from the LES and the SFS velocity from a Lagrangian stochastic model. This LPDM-LES model is used to obtain an ensemble of dispersion realizations for calculating the mean, root-mean-square (r.m.s.) deviation, and fluctuating fields of dispersion quantities. An ensemble of 30 realizations is generated for each of three source heights: surface, near-surface, and elevated. We compare the LPDM calculations with convection tank experiments and field observations to assess the realism of the results. The overall conclusion is that the LPDM-LES model produces a realistic range of dispersion realizations and statistical variability (i.e., r.m.s. deviations) that match observations in this highly convective PBL, while also matching the ensemble-mean properties. This is true for the plume height or trajectory, vertical dispersion, and the surface values of the crosswind-integrated concentration (CWIC), and their dependence on downstream distance. One exception is the crosswind dispersion for an elevated source, which is underestimated by the model. Other analyses that highlight important LPDM results include: (1) the plume meander and CWIC fluctuation intensity at the surface, (2) the applicability of a similarity theory for plume height from a surface source to only the very strong updraft plumes—not the mean height, and (3) the appropriate variation with distance of the mean surface CWIC and the lower bound of the CWIC realizations for a surface source. 相似文献

Summary Extreme values of the ground level concentration of air pollutants were evaluated as a function of plume rise Δh, and wind speed in two cases. Firstly, when a plume rise depends on the downwind distance x, and secondly, with a constant plume rise (i.e., independent on x). Also, the extreme values for the effective stack height were evaluated for different stability classes. The maximum value
of the ground level concentration was obtained in unstable stability when plume rise depends on x and in the neutral stability when plume rise independent on x. Also, in stable case, the extreme values of the ground level concentration of air pollutants showed similar values in the
two cases when plume rise depends on x, and with constant plume rise. Finally, it was found that the extreme value of the ground level concentration occurred near
the stack and after that it was decreases in all stabilities. 相似文献

The ability to simulate atmospheric dispersion with models developed for applied use under stable atmospheric stability conditions is discussed. The paper is based on model simulations of three experimental data sets reported in the literature. The Hanford data set covered weakly stable conditions, the Prairie Grass experiments covered both weakly stable and very stable atmospheric conditions, and the Lillestrøm experiment was carried out during very stable conditions. Simulations of these experiments reported in the literature for eight different models are discussed. Applied models based on the Gaussian plume model concept with the spread parameters described in terms of the Pasquill stability classification or Monin–Obukhov similarity relationships are used. Other model types are Lagrangian particle models which also are parameterized in terms of Monin–Obukhov similarity relationships. The applied models describe adequately the dispersion process in a weakly stable atmosphere, but fail during very stable atmospheric conditions. This suggests that Monin–Obukhov similarity theory is an adequate tool for the parameterization of the input parameters to atmospheric dispersion models during weakly stable conditions, but that more detailed parameterisations including other physical processes than those covered by the Monin–Obukhov theory should be developed for the very stable atmosphere. 相似文献

The flow and turbulence quantities governing dispersion in katabatic flows vary with both height and downslope distance. This variation cannot be accounted for in conventional plume dispersion models. In this study, three random-walk models of varying complexity are formulated to simulate dispersion in katabatic flows, and their strengths and weaknesses are discussed. The flow and turbulence parameters required by these models are determined from a high-resolution two-dimensional katabatic flow model based on a turbulent kinetic energy closure. Random-walk model calculations have been performed for several values of source height and slope angle to examine the influence of these parameters on dispersion. Finally, we simulated the perfluorocarbon and heavy methane tracer releases for Night 4 of the 1980 ASCOT field study over a nearly two-dimensional slope in Anderson Creek Valley, California. The observed peak concentrations are generally well-predicted. The effects of the pooling of the drainage air could not be taken into account in our katabatic flow model and, consequently, the predicted concentrations decay much more rapidly with time than the observed values. 相似文献
