BUOYANCY INDUCED DISPERSION (BID) COMPONENT OF AND y z

For the CBL’s Direct & Indirect sources, Buoyancy Induced Dispersion (BID) is calculated following Weil 

 

The direct source plume rise is calculated from eq. (116).

For the Penetrated Source, BID is calculated as follows:

 

The height of the penetrated source (hep) is calculated from eq. (119) in section 3.e.1). 

For the Stable Source BID is calculated as follows:

The stable plume rise ( hs ) is calculated from eq. (120).
