TLDR
In this paper, the authors developed a simplified concentration correction factor approach to efficiently account for dispersion processes particular to aircraft plumes, which is used to explain monitoring station results in the London Heathrow area showing that pollutant concentrations are approximately constant over wind speeds of 3-12m−1.

Aircraft engine exhaust emissions and other airport-related contributions to ambient air pollution: A review

TL;DR: This review aims to summarise the state-of-the-art research on aircraft and airport emissions and attempts to synthesise the results of studies that have addressed this issue, to address the future potential of research by highlighting research needs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global, regional and local health impacts of civil aviation emissions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a multi-scale modeling approach to quantify and monetize the air quality impact of civil aviation emissions, approximating effects of aircraft plume dynamics-related local dispersion (?1 km), near-airport dispersion, regional (?1000 km) and global (?10 000 km) scale chemistry and transport.

Evaluating green performance of the airports using hybrid BWM and VIKOR methodology

TL;DR: In this paper, a hybrid of Best Worst Method (BWM) and VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methodologies has been employed to calculate the weight of different criteria and rank the airports accordingly.

Benchmarking airports based on a sustainability ranking index

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and applied a sustainability ranking of airports index to benchmark the performance of airports across multiple factors, including services and quality, energy consumption and generation, carbon dioxide emissions and mitigation planning, environmental management and biodiversity, and atmosphere and low emission transport.

Buoyancy Effects in Fluids

J. S. Turner
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce linear internal waves and herar flows in a stratified fluid and double-diffusive convection in stably stratified fluids, and show that the shear flows can produce turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Turbulent gravitational convection from maintained and instantaneous sources

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a theory of convection from maintained and instantaneous sources of buoyancy, using methods which are applicable to stratified body fluids with any variation of density with height; detailed solutions have been presented for the case of a stably stratified fluid with a linear density gradient.

Turbulent entrainment: the development of the entrainment assumption, and its application to geophysical flows

TL;DR: The entrainment assumption, relating the inflow velocity to the local mean velocity of a turbulent flow, has been used successfully to describe natural phenomena over a wide range of scales as mentioned in this paper.

Turbulent Jets and Plumes

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the progress in relation to how jets and plumes interact with environmental factors, such as density stratification or uniform motion of the ambient fluid is presented.

The Turbulent Wall Jet Measurements and Modeling

TL;DR: The turbulent wall jet, even limiting attention to the topologically simple cases beloved of academics, arguably provides more puzzles for those seeking an ordered set of rules to describe turbulence than any other class of turbulent shear layer as discussed by the authors.
