Wind tunnel experiments of tracer dispersion downwind from a small-scale physical model of a landfill
Wind tunnel experiments have been carried out on a small-scale physical model of a municipal waste landfill (MWL) in the CRIACIV (Research Centre of Building Aerodynamics and Wind Engineering) “environmental” wind tunnel in Prato (Italy). The MWL model simulates a landfill whose surface is higher than the surrounding surface, applying a 1:200 scaling factor. Modelling an area source such as lan...
متن کاملEstimating Landfill Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Measured Ambient Methane Concentrations and Dispersion Modeling
Since municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills emit significant amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, there is considerable interest in quantifying surficial methane emissions from landfills. The authors propose a new and easier method by which to estimate methane emissions. The technique uses hundreds of ambient air VOC measurements taken within a landfill, as receptors, and solves the sta...
متن کاملDispersion in the Surfzone: Tracer Dispersion Studies
Terrestrial runoff and river input dominates urban pollutant loading rates Often draining directly into the surfzone, this pollution degrades surfzone water quality, leading to beach closures (e.g., Boehm et al., 2002), increases health risks (e.g., diarrhea and upper respiratory illness) (Haile et al., 1999), and contains both human viruses (Jiang and Chu, 2004) and elevated levels of fecal in...
متن کاملFractional Dispersion, Lévy Motion, and the MADE Tracer Tests
The macrodispersion experiments (MADE) at the Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi were conducted in a highly heterogeneous aquifer that violates the basic assumptions of local second-order theories. A governing equation that describes particles that undergo Lévy motion, rather than Brownian motion, readily describes the highly skewed and heavy-tailed plume development at the MADE site. The n...
متن کاملDispersion model evaluation of PM 2 . 5 , NOX and SO 2 from point and major line sources in Nova Scotia , Canada using AERMOD Gaussian plume air dispersion model
AERMOD was used to model the air dispersion of point and major line emissions of PM2.5 in Halifax and Pictou, NOX in Halifax and SO2 in Halifax, Sydney and Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia, Canada. Emission inventory data for 2004 were used in simulations within four, 50 km x 50 km, domains over annual, monthly and 1–hour averaging periods. Annual averaged surface concentration maps are reported...
