Sp Oxford University Press Stably Stratified Flow And Dense Gas Dispersion (Hb 1988) by Puttock J.S.
It is now generally recognized that the dispersion of gases denser than air is markedly different from the dispersion of passive pollutants in the atmosphere. Methods of predicting such dispersion are needed because of the wide range of hazardous materials that could form dense gas clouds if accidentally released. Consequently, various mathematical models for dense-gas dispersion have been developed in recent years. In the formulation of these models an understanding of various aspects of stably stratified flows is needed. Theoretical and experimental work on stratified flows can thus lead to improvements in the models. The papers in this volume range from basic studies of entrainment and turbulence in stably stratified flows to discussion of recent improvements in specific dispersion models. They demonstrate aspects of the basic flows, show the capabilities of some current models, and indicate possible directions of future research._x000D_show more
