Simulation of Plume Dispersion Emitted from Industrial Sources based on Gaussian Model

Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation which describe the way in which pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. These dispersion models are used to estimate the concentration of air pollutants emitted by industrial plants and also can be used to predict future concentrations when the parameters of emission sources are changing. Parameters used in the dispersion model include: weather conditions such as wind speed and direction, atmospheric turbulence ("stability class"), ambient air temperature; source parameters (source location and height, source type, gas exit velocity, exit temperature and mass flow rate).
