Abstract

The SAFE AIR code simulates the transport and diffusion of airborne pollutants. This Lagrangian dispersion code is based on the advection of Gaussian segments and puffs driven by a 3D diagnostic wind model, able to deal with both non-stationary and inhomogeneous conditions. SAFE AIR is an evolution of the AVACTA II code, "recommended" by the U.S. EPA. In this paper, results obtained by means of SAFE_AIR are compared against measurements concerning plume dispersion experiments on a small scale model of a waste incinerator with two stacks. These experiments were carried out in the developed boundary-layer wind
