Developing a new model for simulation of pollution dispersion from a network of stacks

Modeling of air pollution dispersion is the key step in design and environmental control of industrial stacks. In the current study, authors previous model (multiple cell model for pollutants dispersion from a network of industrial stacks) was completed. In new and comprehensive model, location of stacks and wind blowing angle are variable. Model uses graphical user interface (GUI) and is applicable for network of refinery stacks, petrochemical complexes, urban and industrial stacks. Also, the effect of some parameters on the pollution dispersion was investigated. These parameters include wind blowing angle, location of stacks, ambient air temperature and wind speed.
