There are several parameters which must be considered when creating a dispersion model, including oil-slick thickness, advection, resurfacing and wave action.
He's responded on-site to more than 50 major hazardous materials emergencies, and has performed dispersion modeling remotely for more than 100 chemical releases and release prevention scenarios.
Air dispersion models are also used by public safety responders and emergency management personnel for emergency planning of accidental chemical releases.
The goal of this text is to provide the reader with the fundamentals of dispersion models, deriving them stepwise with examples, while avoiding complex mathematics.
Almost all distribution functions with finite cumulant generating functions qualify as exponential dispersion models and most exponential dispersion models manifest variance functions of this form.
