Dispersion of fluid particles in non-homogeneous turbulence was studied for fully developed flow in a channel. A point source at a distance of 40 wall units from the wall is considered. Data obtained by carrying out experiments in a direct numerical simulation (DNS) are used to test a stochastic model which utilized a modified Langevin equation. All of the parameters, with the exception of the time scales, are obtained from Eulerian statistics. Good agreement is obtained by making simple assumptions about the spatial variation of the time scales.

We present an extension of Thomson’s (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 210, 1990, pp. 113–153) two-particle Lagrangian stochastic model that is constructed to be consistent with the $4/5$ law of turbulence. The rate of separation in the new model is reduced relative to the original model with zero skewness in the Eulerian longitudinal relative velocity distribution and is close to recent measurements from direct numerical simulations of homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The rate of separation in the equivalent backwards dispersion model is approximately a factor of 2.9 larger than the forwards dispersion model, a result that is consistent with previous work.

Radionuclides released from uranium mine ventilation shafts would pose radiation exposure to the public and environment. A three-dimensional lagrangian stochastic model has been presented to study the atmospheric dispersion of solid-state radionuclides released from the uranium-bearing mine ventilation shafts. Meteorological conditions and geographical conditions including four downwind velocities (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 m/s) and two underlying surface roughness characteristics (0.1 m, 1.0 m) were chose in the study. The radionuclides concentration distributions at various wind speeds and surface roughness were attained to evaluate the pollution in the vicinity of uranium mine ventilation shaft.
