Course Details

Classroom 1.6 CEUs OnDemand courses are not eligible for CEU credit.
This intensive course is designed for entry level engineers, dispersion modelers, and meteorologists or others wanting to deepen their understanding of air dispersion modeling principles. Concise lectures supplemented by multi-media example problem sets, a short hands-on introduction to computer-based modeling software, and group discussions are used to maximize comprehension. Students learn how models incorporate the effects of transport and dispersion, atmospheric turbulence, stack characterization, building downwash, and terrain impacts with emphasis on U.S. EPA models such as AERMOD, AERSCREEN, and a brief introduction to CALPUFF, CAMx, and CMAQ. Participants learn about:
  • Modeling theory, U.S. EPA models, and model selection
  • Role and sources of meteorology
  • Model use and interpretation within regulatory and non-regulatory contexts of application

Course Topics

  • Regulatory requirements for modeling
  • Atmospheric turbulence
  • Stability categories
  • Dispersion parameters
  • Plume rise equations
  • Building downwash
  • Flares
  • Line and area sources
  • Modeling continuous emissions
  • Modeling accidental releases
  • Modeling study design
  • U.S. EPA modeling guidelines
