The effect of the contaminant emission rate on the velocity field and contaminant distribution with the presence of an obstacle in a large space

In the industrial field, the prediction of the contaminant gas distribution is very meaningful. However, when the leakage is high, not only the contaminant distribution will not follow the pattern of the original flowfield, but the contaminant buoyancy or negative buoyancy will affect the flowfield...

description In the industrial field, the prediction of the contaminant gas distribution is very meaningful. However, when the leakage is high, not only the contaminant distribution will not follow the pattern of the original flowfield, but the contaminant buoyancy or negative buoyancy will affect the flowfield conversely.

Two leaking positions and five emission rates of the source have been taken into consideration. When the emission rate is high enough, the flowfield structure will be altered and new vortexes will appear. The contaminant dimensionless concentration distribution is totally different from the low-emission-rate conditions.
