Abstract:
PLUMES model / documentation
PLUMES includes two initial dilution plume models (RSB and UM) and a model interface
manager for preparing common input and running the models. Two farfield algorithms
are automatically initiated beyond the zone of initial dilution. PLUMES also incorporates
the flow classification scheme of the Cornell Mixing Zone Models (CORMIX) with
recommendations for model usage, thereby providing a linkage between the systems.
PLUMES models are intended for use with plumes discharged to marine and some
freshwater bodies. Both buoyant and dense plumes, single sources, and many diffuser
outfall configurations can be modeled.
