3. (4) Gaussian plume, two-dimensional spreading equation ②

4. The first term is the concentration on the centerline of the plume. ③ three terms of Gussian plume equation  First term, when y = 0, ( z – H) = 0, so exp 0 = 1 With the increase of downwind distance(x), c on centerline is decreasing.

5. (4) Gaussian plume, two-dimensional spreading equation Second term < 1 c The second term shows how the concentration decreases as we move in the horizontal. Diffusion in y direction.

6. (4) Gaussian plume, two-dimensional spreading equation Third term Diffusion in z direction. The same as the second term. y Z x 1076 8 7 y Z

15. Ⅳ Other topics about Air pollutants transporting (1) Building wakes( 建筑物尾迹 ) A plume may get sucked into the low pressure wake behind a building, leading to a high local concentration. The simple rule of thumb for avoiding.This problem is to make the stack height at least 2.5 times the height of the tallest nearby building.

16. Ⅳ Other topics about Air pollutants transporting (2) Aerodynamic down wash （空气下洗区） When the stack is located near a mountain, the simple Graussian plume equations will not be applied. The ground-level concentrations from stack where certainly many times what would be calculated with the simple ( flat world ) Graussian plume equations.

17. Ⅴ Summary (1) Fixed-box models – qualitatively Gaussian plume models – point sources, quantitatively

18. Ⅴ Summary 2) Gaussian plume models are applied in Flat terrain The instantaneous meteorology is simple Not work in Mountainous country Nor for long distance Nor at times when the meteorology is complex

19. Ⅴ Summary (3) Building wakes, local mountains, and other sources of air flow perturbations complicate air pollution models.

20. Ⅴ Summary The Gaussian plume diffusion model there are three important equations for Gaussian plume, two- dimensional spreading. (1) Basic Gaussian plume equation

21. Ⅴ Summary (2) Basic Gaussian plume equation modified by effect of the ground (3) Ground-level concentration equation

22. Example 6.4 A factory emits 20g/s of SO 2 at height H. Wind speed is 3m/s. At a distance of 1km downwind, the values of σ y and σ z are 30m and 20m,respectively. What are the SO 2 concentrations at the centerline of plume,and at a point 60 meters to the side of the centerline and 20 meters below the centerline. At centerline, x = 1000m, y =0, z = H σ y =30m, σ z = 20m u =3m/s, Q = 20 g/s

23. Example 6.4 = 1770μg/m 3

24. Example 6.4 At the point away from centerline = 145μg/m 3
