Abstract
The Lagrangian Adaptive Volume Plume Model (AVP) of Ludwig et al (1989) approximates a continuous plume by a series of discrete volumes that change shape in response to vertical wind shear and changes of atmospheric stability with height (Fig. 1). Each volume is described by five Lagrangian points at different altitudes. Horizontal and temporal changes in meteorological parameters are accounted for as the five points move and diffuse independently according to local meteorological conditions along their trajectories; thus each adaptive volume element consists of four segmented parts.
