As illustrated in Video V7.9, models are commonly used to study the dispersion of a gaseous pollutant from an exhaust stack located near a building complex. Similarity requirements for the pollutant source involve the following independent variables: the stack gas speed, V, the wind speed, U, the density of the atmospheric air, ρ, the difference in densities between the air and the stack gas, ρ - ρs, the acceleration of gravity, g, the kinematic viscosity of the stack gas, vs, and the stack diameter, D. (a) Based on these variables, determine a suitable set of similarity requirements for modeling the pollutant source. (b) For this type of model a typical length scale might be 1:200. If the same fluids were used in model and prototype, would the similarity requirements be satisfied? Explain and support your answer with the necessary calculations.
