ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the revision and updating of the series solution of the advection–diffusion equation, known in the literature as the generalized integral Laplace transform technique approach. The simplicity of the K-theory of turbulent diffusion has led to the widespread use of this theory as mathematical basis for simulating pollutant dispersion. The non-Fickian closure allows the investigation of more energetic eddies in different heights and the effect of the asymmetric transport in the computation of the pollutant concentration considering in a more complete way the structure of the turbulent dispersion. Experiments of pollutant dispersion under low wind conditions were done at Indian Institute of Technology and described by M. Sharan et al. In the simulations of the crosswind integrated concentrations, the Copenhagen experiment with a greater time resolution and similarity wind profile were used. The Copenhagen experiment is used to obtain the centerline concentrations.
