Turbulent Buoyant Jets

Advisor: Arkadi Berezovski, Ph.D., Senior Researcher at Institute of Cybernetics

Background

The Gaussian plume model is the most accepted computational approach to calculating the concentration of a pollutant at a certain point. This model describes the transport and mixing of the pollutants. It assumes dispersion in the horizontal and vertical direction will take the form of a normal Gaussian curve with the maximum concentration at the center of the plume.

In the above figure, the orange object is the smokestack. A is the physical stack height and B is the effective stack height. The red curves represent dispersion in the horizontal direction and the blue curves represent dispersion in the vertical direction. There are two curves for each color to illustrate that the Gaussian curve can be narrow or wide, but will still have the same area.
