摘要
The transport and diffusion processes of a tracer gas released near the ground in the Rhine valley region, in Central Europe, during the 1992 TRACT field experiment, are simulated by a computational model system for complex terrain. This system (RMS) is composed of the prognostic mesoscale model RAMS, the Lagrangian stochastic dispersion model SPRAY and the interface code MIRS, which links RAMS to SPRAY. Three flow simulations were performed, with different initialisations and the one showing the best agreement with the measured flow was selected for the simulation of the TRACT tracer experiment, Tracer concentrations measured by an array of samplers at ground level and by an airplane aloft, are used to evaluate the 3-D concentration field simulated by the model system. The analysis of the simulation results generated by RMS shows that our model system very well reproduces the general behaviour of the contaminant plume, the temporal and spatial distribution of the concentration and the location of the concentration maxima.
