The measured longitudinal deposition rates of the deposited particles were closely predicted by an approximate model, which relates the deposition rate of settling particle plumes to the diffusion of passive plumes with no reflection from the ground. The lateral dispersion rates of the settling particle plumes were found, however, to be smaller than those of passive plumes.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
