Description

In this work, we report an analytical solution for steady-state three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation for simulation of radioactive pollutant in atmosphere considering a vertically inhomogeneous Planetary Boundary Layer. The main idea relies in solution of the steady-state three-dimensional advection-diffusion equation by the combined ADMM and GILTT techniques. We also report numerical simulation assuming power wind profile and we compare with the ones achieved by the GILTT method with Gaussian in y-direction as well experimental data. (author)
