The present work presents an analysis of the influence of stochastic components when introduced in a deterministic model. For this purpose, the advection-diffusion equation is solved via Fourier transform, which has infinite domain, and then the infinite domain is limited by reflection at the ground and at the atmospheric boundary layer limit. These reflections may be reflecting the pollutant material completely or partially. The results obtained with this model were validated with the Copenhagen experimental data.

In this paper, we present a convergence analysis of the GILTT method for pollutant dispersion problems consolidating the solution of the problem in analytical representation. There have been many advances in the GILTT technique over the past few years. The advection-diffusion equation was solved for the multidimensional case and applied to various situations, mainly in pollutant dispersion. The theorem of Cauchy-Kowalewsky guarantees the existence and uniqueness of an analytic solution for the advection-diffusion equation. In this paper, we present a convergence analysis for the GILTT method to pollutant dispersion problems. Numerical results are presented.

Abstract. In this work, a first-order upwind and a high-order flux-limiter schemes for solving the advection–diffusion equation on unstructured grids were evaluated. The numerical schemes were implemented as a module of an unstructured two-dimensional depth-averaged circulation model for shallow lakes (IPH-UnTRIM2D), and they were applied to the Guaíba River in Brazil. Their performances were evaluated by comparing mass conservation balance errors for two scenarios of a passive tracer released into the Guaíba River. The circulation model showed good agreement with observed data collected at four water level stations along the Guaíba River, where correlation coefficients achieved values up to 0.93. In addition, volume conservation errors were lower than 1% of the total volume of the Guaíba River. For all scenarios, the higher order flux-limiter scheme has been shown to be less diffusive than a first-order upwind scheme. Accumulated conservation mass balance errors calculated for the flux limiter reached 8%, whereas for a first-order upwind scheme, they were close to 18% over a 15-day period. Although both schemes have presented mass conservation errors, these errors are assumed negligible compared with kinetic processes such as erosion, sedimentation or decay rates.

The aim of this work is to present a transient model in low wind conditionsto simulate the pollutants dispersion in the atmosphere. The dispersion model is based in the advection-diffusion equation and it considers the zonal and meridional components of the wind. The transient advection-diffusion equation is solved using integral transform techniques. In this work, the generalized integral transform and Laplace techniques are used, known in the literature as GILTT and which applied to the three-dimensional problem is called 3D-GILTT (Three-dimensional Generalized Integral Laplace Transform Technique). To validate the model, data from INEL experiment (Idaho National Engineering Laboratory) carried out in the USA were used. The model simulates the observed concentrations in a satisfactory way and can be used for regulatory air quality applications
