Aspects of Dosage from Short and Long Duration Emissions
Robins, A. ; Hayden, P. ; Gallacher, D. ; Pace, S. ; Chaloupecká, Hana
The objectives of this work were to use wind tunnel concentration measurements to describe the structure of dispersing clouds from an elevated source in a deep turbulent boundary layer and to develop scaling rules that reduce the results to a universal form. The experiments were carried out in the EnFlo meteorological wind tunnel at the University of Surrey. Ensembles of between 100 and 200\nrepeat emissions were used, emission durations between 0.067 and 1.02s and a reference flow speed of 2ms-1. The fetch studied extended to about six source heights downwind (about two boundary layer depths). The structure of the evolving clouds was analysed to determine time of flight, along-wind spread and dosage and to compare the dosage behaviour with the concentration field in a plume from the same source. This illustrated how the two were related and how cloud dosage statistics (mean and\nstandard deviation) could be derived from plume data. It also demonstrated that much larger ensembles were required to reduce the statistical uncertainty in the mean cloud properties. The next steps involve testing these conclusions in a wider range of flow and dispersion conditions, in the presence of obstacles or complex urban areas.

The report describes the procedure of work on the two-year project TACR TJ01000383.\nIn the year 2018, relations between characteristics of short-term and long-term gas leakages for an urban area were searched utilizing the database COST ES1006. Then, releases of short-term and long-term gases for a rural area were studied. A dimensionless database I. was created from the data.\nIn the year 2019, the dispersion of short-term and long-term gas releases in an industrial area was studied. The measured data were analysed and the dimensionless database II. was created. The databases I. and II. were utilized for the validation of the model. We developed software as the main goal of the project.
