考虑动量和浮力通量耗散的烟气抬升解析模式

环流湍流对烟流抬升有重要的作用。本文考虑了环境湍流引起的烟流的动量和浮力通量耗散，导出了烟流抬升的控制方程，给出了烟流的轨迹方程和中性条件下热浮力烟流的终极抬升高度。在烟囱附近，轨迹方程接近2/3次律；当下风距离增大时，与2/3次律有明显偏离并逐渐变平。与外场试验资料的比较表明，本模式能较好地模拟浮力烟流的轨迹和终极高度。     

A standing wave in stable drainage flow induced by a small industrial facility

A small town close to a lead/zinc smelter was experiencing unusually high concentrations of sulfur dioxide during certain drainage flow conditions. The episodes occurred in situations where the buoyant plume rise should have been sufficient to eliminate any excessive ground level concentrations resulting from building wake effects. A field study was initiated using visible oil fog, tracer gas releases, and constant volume balloons. The resulting data revealed that a standing wave was being induced in the flow across the smelter bringing pollutants from as high as 150m agl down to 30m agl over the nearby town. The existence of the wave is attributed to the combined effects of the smelter buildings and the thermal forcing supplied by smelter operations. Data are presented characterizing the wavelike disturbance and documenting the meteorological conditions under which it occurs. A comparison is made between the simulated pollutant impacts using the tracer gas data and model predictions using the Industrial Source Complex dispersion model.     

ON THE EFFECT OF AMBIENT TURBULENCE ON THE BUOYANT PLUME RISE

Considering the effects of both entrainment and intensification of the exchanges of momentum and heat between plume and ambient air,we have derived the trajectory equation of buoyant plume under neutral conditions,and the final rise prediction formula theoretically without any hypotheses on the rise termination.Compared with the field experiments,the final rise formula simulates the observed final rise heights well.     

论环境湍流对烟气抬升的作用

考虑环境湍流对烟气抬升具有增强烟气夹卷和促进烟气与环境空气间动、热量交换的双重作用，导出了中性层结条件下热烟气浮升的轨迹方程，并且无需对抬升的截止作任何假设，导得了理论的终极抬升公式。经与国内外烟气抬升实测资料对比，发现这些结果与实况基本一致。     

考虑环境湍流作用的烟气上升路径方程

本文利用我国的观测资料对中性层结时的烟气拾升路径作了细致的分析。发现抬升高度与距离之间符合幂次关系,但与不考虑环境湍流作用的2/3次律有系统偏离;这一偏离与烟流半径和高度的非线性关系相一致。上述事实与国外的一些观测结果均表明,环境湍流对烟气抬升的累积作用不容忽视。为此,提出了环境湍流与自生湍流的联合作用模式,由此导得的抬升路径方程可以满意地解释上述观测事实。模式还显示,卷挟速度除取决于切变速度及湍流强度以外,还是烟流半径的函数,因而在物理上更加合理。由联合作用模式导出的终极抬升公式比不考虑环境湍流累积作用的公式更符合观测结果。     

On the dispersion parameters of plumes from tall stacks in a shoreline environment

Experimental data for buoyant plumes released from high sources into layers having little ambient turbulence show that plume dispersion parameters vary in a manner similar to that during initial plume rise. This is consistent with general plume rise theory. Dispersion of plumes from tall stacks in a shoreline environment where a thermal internal boundary layer is formed often demonstrates this behaviour.     

Dispersion of a Point-Source Release of a Passive Scalar Through an Urban-Like Array for Different Wind Directions

The dispersion of a point-source release of a passive scalar in a regular array of cubical, urban-like, obstacles is investigated by means of direct numerical simulations. The simulations are conducted under conditions of neutral stability and fully rough turbulent flow, at a roughness Reynolds number of Re _τ  = 500. The Navier–Stokes and scalar equations are integrated assuming a constant rate release from a point source close to the ground within the array. We focus on short-range dispersion, when most of the material is still within the building canopy. Mean and fluctuating concentrations are computed for three different pressure gradient directions (0°, 30°, 45°). The results agree well with available experimental data measured in a water channel for a flow angle of 0°. Profiles of mean concentration and the three-dimensional structure of the dispersion pattern are compared for the different forcing angles. A number of processes affecting the plume structure are identified and discussed, including: (i) advection or channelling of scalar down ‘streets’, (ii) lateral dispersion by turbulent fluctuations and topological dispersion induced by dividing streamlines around buildings, (iii) skewing of the plume due to flow turning with height, (iv) detrainment by turbulent dispersion or mean recirculation, (v) entrainment and release of scalar in building wakes, giving rise to ‘secondary sources’, (vi) plume meandering due to unsteady turbulent fluctuations. Finally, results on relative concentration fluctuations are presented and compared with the literature for point source dispersion over flat terrain and urban arrays.     

A saline laboratory model of the planetary convective boundary layer

A laboratory water-analog of clear-air penetrative convection in the atmosphere has been constructed to continue studies of the turbulent dispersion of buoyant plumes in the convective boundary layer (CBL). A unique feature is the utilization of saline rather than thermal convection, which has been made possible by the development of a reliable method for delivering a controllable buoyancy flux through a porous membrane. It has been shown in an earlier paper that at typical laboratory scales, a saline convection tank is well suited to modelling buoyant plume dipersion under strongly convective (light wind) conditions.A range of experiments has clearly demonstrated the validity of the model. Results for density and velocity variances show much less scatter than most comparable measurements because of the greatly improved sampling that is possible in the tank. The results are generally in good agreement with field data and other laboratory simulations but the improved accuracy of the data has highlighted the anomalously low values for the horizontal velocity variances produced by large-eddy simulations of the CBL. The cause of this apparent underprediction remains unresolved.     

街谷大气扩散试验研究

为研究机动车辆排出的污染物在大气中的扩散规律，在北京做了小风条件下的街谷示踪试验。当楼顶风速u接近或大于1米/秒时，街谷内可形成一稳定的原生涡；u＜0.6米/秒时原生涡将消失。对于楼之间空间较小的街谷，背风面和迎风面的示踪剂浓度平均比值可达8。浓度值沿楼层高度无明显变化；由于快车路旁松墙的阻挡和抬升作用，可能造成沿高度方向楼层中段的浓度偏高。在街谷外，除下风方路面上有一按下风距离的负幂指数衰减的浓度分布外，上风方路面上也有一按较大负幂指数衰减的分布。根据上述试验，给出了用以预测街谷中机动车辆排出的惰性气体污染物的扩散模式；模式中，对原生涡和小尺度湍流，做了分别处理。     

THE RISE MODEL OF BUOYANT PLUME LIMITED BY MECHANICAL TURBULENCE

This paper has investigated the rise of bent-over buoyant plume in neutral condition.By means of the combined-effect model proposed at earlier time,authors have deduced a formula of final rise limited by mechanical turbulence and therefore have concluded that the corresponding formula neglecting the accumulated effect of ambient turbulence is only its particular case.By analyzing the function relation of the various affecting factors with the plume rise in the existing equations,it is proved that the formula derived from the combined-effect model is the most reasonable and shows more conformity to the observations.     

The rise of forced plumes in a stably stratified crossflow

Solutions are found describing the rise of turbulent buoyant plumes in a neutral or stably stratified crossflow from a source having finite fluxes of buoyancy, momentum and volume. Plumes from such sources are known as forced plumes. The solutions arise from a unified theory having one disposable parameter, the entrainment constant, and they describe a wide range of behaviour of plumes and jets in a crossflow. Solutions for buoyant plumes indicate that, for any given source, heights of rise are reduced with increased crossflow velocity and increased stratification while for constant environmental parameters, heights of rise are increased with increased fluxes of source buoyancy and momentum and are decreased with source radius. Maximum dilutions occur in plumes from small sources with relatively large buoyancy fluxes in light crossflows with small stratification.     

Unification Of Non-Dimensional Solutions To Asymptotic Equations For Plumes Of Different Shape

A model of buoyant fluid rise is developed in aLagrangian framework. Results from the model arevalidated by comparison with laboratory and fieldexperiments. The model is sufficiently general toinclude geometries of any cross-sectional shape. Exact solutions to the asymptotic equations forcontinuous discharges from line and point sources andfor an instantaneous discharge from a point source areconsidered. Prismatic, cylindrical andspherical shapes approximate these three geometries,respectively. Accommodation of these shapes withinthe same general model allows for direct comparison. It is shown that, for discharges into a cross-flowthat may be stratified or unstratified, thenon-dimensional trajectory, thickness and dilution canbe uniquely specified using three parameters. Theseare the non-dimensional size of the source, therelative importance of the initial fluxes of momentumand buoyancy and the number of orthogonal axes throughwhich entrainment can occur. Such non-dimensionalresults are particularly useful for examining thosescenarios for which there are limited experimentaldata.     

Building morphological characteristics and their effect on the wind in Beijing

An urban boundary layer model (UBLM) is improved by incorporating the effect of buildings with a sectional drag coefficient and a height-distributed canopy drag length scale. The improved UBLM is applied to simulate the wind fields over three typical urban blocks over the Beijing area with different height-to-width ratios. For comparisons, the wind fields over the same blocks are simulated by an urban sub-domain scale model resolving the buildings explicitly. The wind fields simulated from the two different methods are in good agreement. Then, two-dimensional building morphological characteristics and urban canopy parameters for Beijing are derived from detailed building height data. Finally, experiements are conducted to investigate the effect of buildings on the wind field in Beijing using the improved UBLM.     

环境湍流对烟云抬升的作用

本文研究了中性层结环境中湍流对烟云抬升的连续作用。取外部湍流卷挟率正比于湍流特征速度并叠加于自身卷挟率,分析表明,即使在抬升的早期,环境湍流对弯曲烟云的路径有不可忽视的影响,并使烟云路径加速变平。电厂烟云的实测资料表明,平均抬升路径实际上不完全符合无湍流环境的三分之二规律,而与本文理论结果更为接近。 本研究也发现,最大抬升高度及其出现的下风距离都是大气湍流度的灵敏函数。据此,我们分析了几个常用抬升公式的局限性,并推荐了一种反映大气湍流度的改型公式。     

Buoyant plume rise in a Lagrangian framework

For the dispersion of buoyant material, the interaction with the environment by entrainment forms a serious obstacle for a formulation in a Lagrangian framework. Nevertheless an outline is given here on how buoyant plume rise in a Lagrangian sense could be described. Though the method contains a number of heuristic elements, it has all the advantages of a Lagrangian formulation. It is shown that it is possible to formulate a Lagrangian model which both is able to recover the classical formulations for plume rise in a calm environment and to accomodate more recent Eulerian formulations in a turbulent environment. Moreover, the method offers excellent possibilities to include the turbulent characteristics of the plume's environment and arbitrary stratifications of the boundary layer. These facts make it attractive for various practical applications. Some examples are given which illustrate this.     

A one-dimensional model for the parameterization of deep convection in the ocean

A one-dimensional penetrative plume model has been constructed to parameterize the process of deep convection in ocean general circulation models (OGCMs). This research is motivated by the need for OGCMs to better model the production of deep and intermediate water masses. The parameterization scheme takes the temperature and salinity profiles of OGCM grid boxes and simulates the subgrid-scale effects of convection using a one-dimensional parcel model. The model moves water parcels from the surface layer down to their level of neutral buoyancy, simulating the effect of convective plumes. While in transit, the plumes exchange water with the surrounding environment; however, the bulk of the plume water mass is deposited at e level of neutral buoyancy. Weak upwelling around the plumes is included to maintain an overall mass balance. The process continues until the negative buoyant energy of the one-dimensional vertical column is minimized. The parameterized plume entrainment rate, which plays a central role in the parameterization, is calculated using modified equations based on the physics of entraining buoyant plumes. This scheme differs from the convective adjustment techniques currently used in OGCMs, because the parcels penetrate downward with the appropriate degree of mixing until they reach their level of neutral stability.     

A similarity model for maximum ground-level concentration in a height-invariant,stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer

A model is presented for determining the location and magnitude of the maximum ground-level concentration arising from an elevated buoyant source in a very stable atmospheric boundary layer. The development combines the turbulent structure of such a boundary layer, Lagrangian similarity of the diffusion process, and similarity solutions of the conservation equations of the buoyant plume with mass conservation to produce a simple, experimentally verifiable formulation. Functional analogy with previous results for the constant flux layer and a deep convectively unstable layer suggest a heuristic model by which to visualize the process.

On the Use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to Investigate Aerosol Dispersion in an Industrial Environment: A Case Study

Aerosol dispersion in the area surrounding an existing biological treatment facility is investigated using large-eddy simulation, with the objective to investigate the applicability of computational fluid dynamics to complex real-life problems. The aerosol sources consist of two large aeration ponds that slowly diffuse aerosols into the atmosphere. These sources are modelled as dilute concentrations of a non-buoyant non-reacting pollutant diffusing from two horizontal surfaces. The time frame of the aerosol release is restricted to the order of minutes, justifying a statistically steady inlet boundary condition. The numerical results are compared to wind-tunnel experiments for validation. The wind-tunnel flow characteristics resemble neutral atmospheric conditions with a Reynolds number, based on the boundary-layer thickness, of Re _δ ≈ 2 × 10⁵. The numerical inflow conditions are based upon the wind-tunnel flow field. The predicted decay of both the mean and root-mean-square concentrations are in good agreement with experimental data; at 3 m from the ground, the plume mean concentration 200 m downwind of the source is approximately 2% of the source strength. The numerical data in the near-surface layer (0–50 m from the ground) correspond particularly well with the wind-tunnel data. Tentative deposition simulations suggest that there seems to be little difference in the deposition rates of large (1.8 × 10⁻⁵ m) and small (3 × 10⁻⁶ m) particles in the near-field under the flow conditions considered.     

Wind Tunnel simulation of diffusion in a convective boundary layer

A study of turbulent dispersion of passive tracers in unstable boundary layers, conducted in the Meteorological Wind Tunnel of the Fluid Dynamics and Diffusion Laboratory at Colorado State University, is described. The measured mean and turbulent velocities are found to be similar to those measured in atmospheric convective boundary layers. The diffusion pattern, from ground-level and elevated sources over both a smooth floor and a rough floor, is found to be the same as that measured in the water-tank experiments of Deardorff and Willis (1975) and in numerical models. The measurements show an initial rapid descent of plumes from elevated sources and a subsequent plume rise at t^* > 0.5 h/w^*. Ground-level concentrations from elevated sources are found to be larger, at certain distances from the source, than those from a ground-level source of equal strength. The measurements of the cross-wind spread _v are in agreement with the Prairie Grass measurements and confirm earlier predictions that the initial cross-wind spread for ground-level sources is larger than that for elevated sources.
