advection-diffusion equation and the Gaussian plume-model-based AERMOD (the …

Plume dispersion simulation in low wind conditions in stable and convective boundary layers

DM Moreira, T Tirabassi, JC Carvalho - Atmospheric environment, 2005 - Elsevier
The present study proposes a steady-state mathematical model for dispersion of
contaminants in low winds that takes into account the along-wind diffusion. The solution of …

Accountability of wind variability in AERMOD for computing concentrations in low wind conditions

G Pandey, M Sharan - Atmospheric Environment, 2019 - Elsevier
Commonly large shifts of wind direction in low-wind conditions are poorly understood and
are not sufficiently captured by air-quality dispersion model AERMOD. In the low-wind …

Experimental and numerical study of the dispersion of motor vehicle pollutants under idle condition
