The present effort addresses the technical issues associated with hydrocarbon fuel jettisoning from aircraft, including the adaptation of an existing aerial application model for pesticide deposition. The analysis produces qualitatively and quantitatively reasonable results both in mutlicomponent evaporation calculations for isolated droplets, as well as fully coupled calculationx of airborne fuel jettisoning. Both classes of computations confirm earlier conclusions that the likely groundfall of JP-8 jet fuel is substantially higher than the more volatile JP-4 jet fuel, and reiterate the need for a careful assessment of the environmental impact of fuel jettisoning events involving JP-8. The preliminary model appears to be a suitable starting point for full-scale development of a flexible, practical fuel jettisoning simulations code. |
