Abstract
A second set of models are described in the air pollution literature: the so-called “Gaussian Plume Models” which describe the lateral dispersion of effluent emitted with zero buoyancy and momentum (i.e. there is no plume rise). This approach develops the initial work of Sutton 123, 124 in terms of Fickian diffusion and is still in use today (e.g. Melli and Runca 125) — see e.g. Pasquill and Smith 126.
