Characteristics of the Unionid Community and Habitat in a Power Plant Thermal Plume in Western Lake Erie
… community was discovered living within the thermal discharge of a power plant at Oregon, Ohio, on the south shore of Lake Erie. Chapter 1 describes comparisons of the characteristics of this community to nearby communities outside the thermal plume, and examines habitat characteristics that …

Thermal pollution modeling of the New River
Thermal plume data from the Glen Lyn, Virginia power plant on the New River was compared to the thermal plume data from a hydraulic river model of this section of river. Both summer (high temperature, low river flow) and winter (low temperature, high river flow) conditions were modeled. The model …

Wavefront Healing and Tomographic Resolution of Mantle Plumes
To investigate seismic resolution of deep mantle plumes as well as the robustness of the anti-correlation between bulk sound speed and S wave speed imaged in the lowermost mantle, we use a Spectral Element Method (SEM) to simulate global seismic wave propagation in 3-D wavespeed models and measure …

Computational fluid dynamics modelling of displacement natural ventilation.
… is used to assist the development of the thermal plume. This method has proved to be robust and the close agreement between the three modelling techniques indicates that CFD is able to model natural ventilation flows in simple geometries with acceptable accuracy and reliability. Using the …

Numerical simulation of laminar and turbulent hybrid forced-buoyancy convection in channels with a step
… of cold fluid and the buoyancy convection of thermal origin, which naturally emerges in these channels as a result of the prevailing temperature gradients. The sensitivity of these systems to thermal buoyancy for each considered rate of fluid injection (measured through the related Richardson …

Quantifying Air Distribution, Ventilation Effectiveness and Airborne Pollutant Transport in an Aircraft Cabin Mockup
… consistent when the air supply rate varied. The thermal buoyancy force from the thermal plume generated the upside plume flow, opposite to the main jet flow above the boundary seats and thus lowered the local net air exchange. The airborne transport dynamics depends on the distance between the …

Ventilation, stratification and flow instability driven by vertically distributed buoyancy sources
… buoyancy source producing a turbulent wall plume in a ventilated box. The boundary condition at the wall for each layer is established by deducing the turbulent entrainment rate. Using conformal mapping techniques and Poisson's integral theorem, closed-form solutions for the streamfunction …
