Theoretical flaws in PRIME (the building downwash formulation in AERMOD) have recently been documented. To improve PRIME, an industry funded research study was initiated with the following overall objectives: 1) correct the known problems in the theo

This article analyzes flow and deposition measurements downwind of a section of a full-scale ground sprayer boom tested in a wind tunnel. The measurements include the velocity and turbulence levels generated by the presence (and absence) of the nozzl

In 1970, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company was formed to manage the design, costruction, operation and maintenance of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The 800 mile long pipeline carries crude oil from Prudhoe Bay on the North Slope to Port Valdez

This paper discusses three objective methods for estimating surface roughness length based on the physical dimensions of structures or obstructions at a refinery (or other industrial sites of interest). The three methods are referred to as the Lettau

This paper discusses the procedure developed for simulating water sprays at a reduced scale (i.e., physical modeling) and, more impotantly, compares the model spray characterstics to corresponding full scale spray characteristics. An ideal physically

The effect of homogenous and heterogenous roughness on entrainment and dispersion rates was assessed by collecting experimental data in a boundary-layer wind tunnel. Point and area sources were simulated at a 1:100 model scale with homogenous surface

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of current regulatory algorithms for predicting plume rise for refinerytype sources (short stacks and a wide range of source conditions) and the performance of new or alternate algorithms whic

A Fourier summation technique applied to X-ray diffraction profiles of AgI and NaI peaks obtained from collected seeding aerosols has resulted in a measurement of particle size and stored anelastic strain. The particle sizes varied from 0.053 to 0.12
