An Approximate Method for Calculating Concentration-Pathlength through a Gaussian Plume.

Abstract

The calculation of concentration-pathlength along a general line-of-sight is one of the most time and memory consuming calculations in most obscuration models. An approximate method for calculating the concentration-pathlength for a general, finite length line-of-sight through a Gaussian plume cloud in closed form is developed. Comparisons of the approximation to detailed numerical calculations are presented for selected white phosphorus munitions. (Author)
