Dispersion from elevated sources in turbulent boundary layers
Abstract
An analysis of dispersion from elevated sources in turbulent boundary layers is performed using statistical arguments and a random-flight model (RFM). The effects of wind shear and turbulence inhomogeneity are included. Asymptotic analyses of dispersion in the near and far fields of the source are presented, along with numerical predictions of the RFM. These predictions are found to compare favourably with Shlien and Corrsin's boundary layer data.
