Abstract

The present work is an attempt to simulate the pollutants dispersion in the surroundings of the thermoelectric power plant located in Linhares from a new mathematical model based on reflective boundaries in the deterministic advection-diffusion equation. In addition to the advection-diffusion equation with reflective boundaries, it was used data simulated with the CALPUFF model. The exposed model was validated previously with the Hanford and Copenhagen experiments.
