A model of the effects of stack and inversion heights on the transport and diffusion of pollutants in the planetary boundary layer

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of stack height and thermal stratification on the transport and diffusion of pollutants are analyzed in a planetary boundary layer in which the fields of mean motion and temperature are horizontally homogeneous, and the Reynolds terms are assumed to be proportional to the vertical gradient of the mean quantities.

Turbulent diffusion in linear shear flow

TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the characteristics of the eddy diffusivity is made, and the equation for turbulent diffusion in a linear flow is solved analytically, which is the same as our diffusion equation.

Turbulent diffusion in the Ekman boundary layer

TL;DR: In this paper, numerical models are developed to simulate and quantitatively predict the dispersion of pollutants emitted from a ground source in the Ekman boundary later for three different boundary conditions.
