Smoke from slash burns in the Cascade Mountains during a 3-day period of stable air conditions at lower elevations in October 1969 added little to existing air pollution in the Willamette Valley, in western Oregon. Aerial observations and weather data analysis determined that…

This paper reports a detailed laboratory study of two-dimensional starting plumes. From dimensional analysis, equations in a parametric form for the motion of two-dimensional starting plumes are derived. The governing equations are also obtained from an approximate inviscid flow…
