| The objectives of this work were to show that a well-tested three dimensional turbulent kinetic energy/dissipation (k-;The dispersive effects were then examined to determine useful parameters. The average concentration in the recirculation cavity was calculated and modeled as a function of ratio of the building width to building height. Finally, because Gaussian models are generally used for regulatory modeling of dispersion effects, the dispersive field was analyzed to find improved dispersion coefficients to use in Gaussian models. The vertical and horizontal dispersion coefficients were computed as a function of distance from the dispersive source for each of the ratios of building width to building height, and then these functions were made a function of the ratio of building width to building height. These new dispersion coefficients, which were a function of both the distance from the stack and the ratio of building width to building height, were then used in a Gaussian model to compute mass fractions. The computed Gaussian mass fractions were then compared to the 3-D k-... |
