Abstract

Two Lagrangian particle models, developed by Luhar and Britter (Atmos. Environ., 23 (1989) 1191) and Weil (J. Atmos. Sci., 47 (1990) 501), satisfying the “well-mixed” condition as prescribed by Thomson (J. Fluid. Mech., 180 (1987) 529), are compared. They differ in the closure scheme used in calculating the probability density function of the random forcing in a convective boundary layer. Four different turbulent parameterizations were used as input to both models. Their performances are evaluated against one of the well-known Willis and Deardorff water tank experiments (Atmos. Environ., 12 (1978) 1305). Predicted and measured ground-level concentrations (g.l.c.), maximum g.l.c. distance, mean plume height and plume vertical spread are presented and discussed.
