At the request of member utilities, EPRI is managing a multi-year collaborative applied research effort focused on developing improved plume rise and downwash sub-models for incorporation into regulatory air quality dispersion models. ... A field measurements program was performed from February 10 - March 5, 1994 to characterize plume rise and building-induced downwash at a representative combustion turbine facility, under a variety of meteorological conditions. ... PRIME [Plume Rise Model Enhancements] explicitly calculates the local slope of the mean streamlines as a function of building shape and wind angle, and coupled with a numberical plume rise model, determines the change in plume centerline location with downwind distance. 4, record 1, English, - plume%20rise

Plume Rise Formulas. The determination of [delta]h is not well defined, for the smoke plume in the passive stage does not level off.... Davidson (1961) assumed that [delta]h is equal to the height at which the slope of the plume is less than 0.1. Bosanquet (1957) defined [delta]h as the height at which the plume loses its momentum and buoyancy. Several formulas (over 100 formulas) have been prepared to determine [delta]h under different meteorological conditions. None of the formulas, however, appears to predict [delta]h successfully all the time. This is because the meteorological and topographical conditions are greatly simplified.... 1, record 3, English, - plume%20rise%20formula
