| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study is concerned with computer models for atmospheric dispersion of denser-than-air gas. In particular, we focus on a shallow-layer approach based on shallow water equations out of three types of modeling approaches. One of available computer codes based on a shallow-layer model, Twodee-2 (Folch, et al., 2009), is employed to evaluate and improve this model. This code can deal with heavy gas dispersion phenomena induced by surrounding airflow. However, it has been confirmed that it does not work in the simulation of a heavy gas current under its own weight on a sloping terrain. Therefore, a discretization scheme for advection terms of model equations is modified to a simple, second-order upwind scheme. In addition, an air entrainment model is modified to take account of the heavy gas flow velocity instead of the surrounding airflow. As a result, it has been found that numerical results by this modified Twodee-2 code can nicely reproduce wind tunnel experimental data.
