The conservation equations governing buoyant plume rise are solved for the case of non-uniform wind conditions. A simple power law is selected to represent the actual wind profile. Analytical solutions are presented both for uniformly stable and neutral atmospheric conditions. These solutions...

A plume rise model is derived from the equations of turbulent motion, retaining the turbulent flux terms. The solutions are similar to those proposed earlier by Csanady but containing an exponential decay term. The model finds particular value in predicting a leveled-of£ plume trajectory in...

The equations expressing the conservation of mass, vertical momentum and energy are solved analytically for the rise of buoyant plumes in calm atmospheric conditions. The separate and joint effects of entrainment and drag on plume behavior are discussed.
