Fundamentals of Environmental Discharge Modeling

By Lorin R. Davis

Book Overview

This book examines engineering and mathematical models for documenting and approving mechanical and environmental discharges. The author emphasizes engineering design considerations as well as applications to waste water and atmospheric discharges.
Chapters discuss:

the fundamentals of turbulent jet mixing, dilution concepts, and mixing zone concepts
diffuser configurations and head loss calculations
different modeling techniques and accepted models - discussed in detail with theoretical background, restrictions, input, output, and examples
Lagrangian and the EPA UM 2-dimensional diffuser model
the PLUMES interface
Eulerian integral methods, EPA UDKHG 3-dimensional diffuser model, and PDSG surface discharge model
empirical techniques, RSB diffuser model, the CORMIX family of models for both diffusers and surface discharge
numerical methods with a discussion of shelf commercial models
Gaussian atmospheric plume models
Fundamentals of Environmental Discharge Modeling includes numerous case studies and examples for each model and problem.
