Mersch, J

The BLP (Buoyant Line and Point Source Dispersion Model) was developed specifically for aluminum reduction plants. Aluminum reduction plants are a complex arrangement of emission sources. In addition to theoretical considerations, BLP is based on extensive wind-tunnel simulations of two reduction plants and an SF field-study tracer program at one of the plants. Software Description: The model is written in the FORTRAN programming language for implementation on an IBM 3090 computer. The software is distributed on a 5 1/4-inch IBM/PC-compatible diskette. Data are in compressed format but a dearchive utility is included.
