Mathematical modeling of Turbulent Reacting Plumes—II. Application to the NO-NO₂-O₃ system

Abstract

Calculations performed with the Turbulent Reacting Plume Model (TRPM) developed in Part I are compared with the experimental data of Builtjes (1981, Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research, Div. of Technology for Soc., Ref. No. 81-013563) for the reaction between NO in a point source plume and ambient O₃, taking place in a wind tunnel simulating a neutral atmospheric boundary layer. The comparison shows the TRPM capable of quantitatively predicting the retardation imposed on the evolution of nonlinear plume chemistry by incomplete mixing.
