AUSTAL2000
Austal2000 is an
atmosphere. It was developed by Ingenieurbüro Janicke[1]
in Dunum, Germany under contract to the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.
Although not named in the TA Luft, it is the reference dispersion model accepted as being in compliance with the requirements of Annex 3 of the TA Luft and the pertinent VDI Guidelines.
Description
It simulates the dispersion of air pollutants by utilizing a
wet or dry deposition, and first order chemical reactions. It is available for download on the Internet free of cost.[2]
Austal2000G is a similar model for simulating the dispersion of odours and it was also developed by Ingenieurbüro Janicke. The development of Austal 2000G was financed by three German states: Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen and Baden-Württemberg.
