Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to develop a diffusion model for a continuous point source which takes into account the increase
of wind speed with height, and to compare this model with short-range diffusion experiments. The main problem was to find
a good expression for the vertical diffusion coefficient. It turned out that good agreement between theory and experiment
could only be obtained by introducing a settling speed W for the tracer combined with a conventional expression for the vertical diffusion (K(Z) = K
0Z1−p). An empirical relation was found between K
0 and τ
vU and between W and bar
σ
vU2. |
