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...

The random fluctuations of concentration levels in a plume is studied using a wind tunnel simulation of dispersion in the neutrally stable atmospheric boundary layer. A fast response hot - film probe is developed and used to measure high frequency fluctuations of helium tracer concentration in...

Straker, Justin R., Carey, Sean K., Petrone, Richard M., Baker, Trevor D., Strilesky, Stacey L.
This report synthesizes over 15 years of research (and 64 site-years of data) on water use, carbon assimilation, and associated ecosystem development on reclaimed oil-sands-mine sites and on non-mine reference sites. A key feature of this research is the use of eddy-covariance methods to make...

The interaction between the turbulent wake, created by a tailings pond dike and the low level emissions at the Syncrude Tar Sands Plant has been investigated using wind tunnel model simulation. At the large Reynolds numbers experienced by model and full-scale dike the flow remains attached to the...

Maddukuri, C.S., Slawson, P.R., Davidson, G.A.
The plume rise, spread and supporting meterological and source data given in Slawson et al (1978) were further analyzed in order to provide a more suitable data set upon which a site-tuned plume dispersion model could be developed. This dispersion model was considered to consist of a buoyant...

On three occasions during the period May-October, 1978, R.L.& L. Environmental Services Ltd. conducted fish sampling in the Beaver Creek Diversion System. These efforts were oriented towards providing an inventory of postdiversion fish populations. The study was designed not only to update the...

Syncrude Canada Ltd. contracted Lifeways of Canada Limited to carry out an Historical Resources Impact Assessment of their Bituminous Sands Lease No. 22 as a part of a continuing program of environmental research. Archaeological field studies were carried out over a 32 day period in July and...
