Abstract

Second order finite elements are applied to a Diffusion-Advection Equa- tion to model and simulate the presence of air pollutants produced by local sources. Simplifications in the domain are presented and permit visualiza- tion of this presence. Some of these numerical results are presented. 1 Introduction In recent years an effort has been made by State Authorities to locate a thermoelectric plant for the generation of electricity in the region close to the Campinas State University. Although much attention was given to the daily amounts of pollutants this plant would generate (70-80 daily tons of aerosols), little or no discussion was held on where this pollution would end up. Legal decisions on the location of such plants are at
