Species mass conservation

The development of this form of the equation was given by Bird et al. The species-mass-conservation models use numerical integrations of various forms of these equations. 

Gradient diffusion was assumed in the species-mass-conservation model of Shir and Shieh. Integration was carried out in the space between the ground and the mixing height with zero fluxes assumed at each boundary. A first-order decay of sulfur dioxide was the only chemical reaction, and it was suggested that this reaction is important only under low wind speed. Finite-difference numerical solutions for sulfur dioxide in the St. Louis, Missouri, area were obtained with a second-order central finite-difference scheme for horizontal terms and the Crank-Nicolson technique for the vertical-diffusion terms. The three-dimensional grid had 16,800 points on a 30 x 40 x 14 mesh.

Besides applying the postulation similar to the Boussinesq s (or Pick s law) to solve the Reynolds mass flux — mJc in terms of isotropic turbulent mass diffusivity Dt as described in preceding Sect. 3.2 by c — Sc two-equation model, another model has been recently developed to solve the anisotropic Reynolds mass flux —M-c directly instead of using D, to close the turbulent species mass conservation equation. The Reynolds mass flux model discussed in this section could be known as a result following the turbulence closure postulations for the second-order closure turbulence model in the book of Chen and Jaw [23].

It is important to note that dispersion is a process in which the mass of the species is conserved. The species mass conservation equation includes a term with the divergence of the flux of the species. If the flux depends on the concentration gradient, then the conservation equation will have second-order spatial derivatives of concentration. Thus, dispersion will add second-order spatial derivatives of concentration (or saturation) to the conservation equation.
