| Abstract |
The response of a heavy-gas plume to the action of a series of water sprays distributed across the direction of drift (water-spray barrier) was studied. A simple model of the water-spray barrier/gas plume combination is proposed and used to study the influence of adjustable parameters (spray-barrier location, spray-entrainment rate, spray disposition) on the design of the installation. |
