Topics: Air Dispersion Modeling : Software

In the context of this "Air Dispersion Modeling/Software" category, air dispersion modeling software may be defined as computerized mathematical calculations for predicting the dispersion behavior of air pollutants emitted into the atmosphere. The many types of air dispersion models include those for modeling: the continuous emission of buoyant pollutant plumes; the non-continuous accidental releases of eitherbuoyant or heavier-than-air (i.e., dense gas) pollutants;puff emissions; point-source emissions; area-source or line-source emissions; mobile transportation-source emissions; fire and smoke emission models; etc. Air quality modeling software for urban airsheds are probably best placed in the "Air Quality" category rather than in this "Air Dispersion" category.
