3. Main families of mathematical atmospheric dispersion models
There are essentially three families of numerical models suitable for studying the atmospheric dispersion of odors: Gaussian models, Lagrangian models and Eulerian models.
3.1 Gaussian models
-
Principle
In Gaussian-type models, most atmospheric dispersion processes are taken into account using specific parameterizations without solving the fluid mechanics equations. To calculate pollutant concentrations in the air, the plume is assimilated to a cone within which the concentration follows a Gaussian distribution along an axis perpendicular to the wind vector (figure
