Abstract

The simulation tests of plume diffusion have been carried out in an open water channel, in which a Laser Doppler Velocitymeter, optical concentration measurement and flow visualization technology have been used. Through experiments and theoretical analyses, the effects of environmental wind field, surface roughness and discharge condition of elevated source on plume diffusion have been investigated. The plume diffusion mechanism has been elucidated reasonably, based on the turbulent coherent structure theory.
