Plume Rise Formulas

The plume height is used in the calculation of the Vertical Term. The distance dependent momentum plume rise equations are used to determine if the plume is affected by the wake region for building downwash calculations. 

Stack-tip Downwash

In order to consider stack-tip downwash, modification of the physical stack height is performed. The modified physical stack height h_s is found from:

h_s’=h_s+2d_s[(v_s/u_s)-1.5]   for  v_s<1.5u_s      (5)

or

h_s’=h_s                   for v_s> o =1.5u_s   (6)

where h_s is physical stack height (m), v_s is stack gas exit velocity (m/s), and d_s is stack top diameter (m). If stack tip downwash is not considered, h_s’= h_s in the following equations.

Buoyancy and Momentum Fluxes

For most plume rise situations, the value of the Briggs buoyancy flux parameter, F_b (m⁴/s³), is needed

F_b=gv_sd_s²(DT/4T_s)    (7)

where DT = T_s - T_a, T_s is stack gas temperature (K), and T_a is ambient air temperature (K).

For determining plume rise, the momentum flux parameter, F_m (m⁴/s²), is calculated based on the following formula:

F_m=gv_s²d_s²(T_a/4T_s)    (8)
