Motivation
The majority of accidental release models considers mean flow and concentration fields only
Obstacles are not properly taken into account
Transient phenomena like plume meandering are usually neglected
New and innovative approaches are available now. They can significantly improve the situation.
Michael Schatzmann
The New Approach
The US Naval Research Laboratory and Hamburg University developed a new and advanced Emergency management system for the City of Hamburg.
The new emergency management tool is based on two NRL models; (1)a Large Eddy Simulation model and (2)a tool for the rapid display of the results.
Wind tunnel and field experiments were carried out in order to validate the system.
CT-Analyst Presentation
The steps towards realizing the new emergency management tool were:
Features of the New Approach
Michael Schatzmann
Features of the New Approach
1. Select appropriate domains: 16km x 12 km 4km x 4 km
Michael Schatzmann
Features of the New Approach
Geometrical complexity of the 4km x 4 km site

Features of the New Approach
2. Select an appropriate model and grid:LES –Model “FAST3D-CT”
Domain4km x 4 km with 2.5mresolution
Domain16km x 12 km
with 10mresolution
Michael Schatzmann
Content of the New Approach
3. Do the simulations for x wind directions and y stabilities, scale the results:
Resolution in both cases results in
≈ 210 million cells
≈ 20 GB of memory
time step: ≈ 0.05 s1 h ≈ 6 d
on a 64 CPU

Features of the New Approach
4. Transfer the results into a data structure which can be read by the display tool “CT – Analyst”:
Data are transferred from FAST3D to CT-Analyst in Form of so-called Nomograf- tables which contain for each grid point the time series of the instantaneous wind vector.
CT-Analyst runs on a LapTop and comes with anuser-friendly interface as common in computer games.
CT-Analyst is fast because it displays pre-computedresults. CT-Analyst only extends these results to all wind directions and wind speeds.
Michael Schatzmann
Content of the New Approach
5. Select a source position. The plume edges are derived from the mean and turbulent flow field as computed by the LES model
6. Assume a plume profile and estimate mean and peak concentrations by applying the mass conservation principle

Validation of the New Approach
Wind Tunnel Experiments:
Model Scale: 1:350
Model Size: 1.4km x 3.7km
Wind Direction: 235° (WSW)
Wind Tunnel Measurements:
The Hamburg Radio Transmitter Tower
Time series measured at
different heightsare analysed.
The information is used to generate a proper wind
tunnel boundary layer in the
model scale of 1:350
