Euleria.n Models. Of the Eulerian models, the box model is the easiest to conceptualize. The atmosphere over the modeling region is envisioned as a well-mixed box, and the evolution of pollutants in the box is calculated following conservation-of-mass principles including emissions, deposition, chemical reactions, and atmospheric mixing.

Two models have been presented which are based on the Lagrangian and Eulerian difference schemes respectively. These models were able to calculate in detail the interaction of acoustic waves with inclusions in discontinuous fluids. The Lagrangian model was able to consider the transfer of normal to shear stresses at fluid discontinuities. The Eulerian model is limited to the study of dilatation waves but its computational efficiency enables it to... 

A combination of the forward and inverse modelling approaches allows to solve some environmental and nuclear risk problems more effectively compared with the traditional ways based on the forward modelling. For the inverse modelling problem, most of the western scientists (Persson et al., 1987 [491] Prahm et al., 1980 [509] Seibert, 2001 [569]) use the common back- trajectory techniques, suitable only for the Lagrangian models. The Novosibirsk scientific school established by G.I. Marchuk in Russia has suggested a fruitful theoretical method for inverse modelling, based on adjoint equations (Marchuk, 1982 [391], 1995 [392] Penenko, 1981 [486]) and suitable for the Eulerian models. This approach has further been used and improved by several authors (Baklanov, 1986 [20], 2000 [25] Pudykiewicz, 1998 [512] Robertson and Lange, 1998 [538]) for estimation of source-term parameters in the atmospheric pollution problems. 

As described in Chapter 3, Section 5.1 the application of the VOF scheme in an Eulerian framework depends on the solution of the continuity equation for the free boundary (Equation (3.69)) with the model equations. The developed algorithm for the solution of the described model equations and updating of the free surface boundaries is as follows ... 

Trajectory models require spatiaUy and temporaUy resolved wind fields, mixing-height fields, deposition parameters, and data on the spatial distribution of emissions. Lagrangian trajectory models assume that vertical wind shear and horizontal diffusion are negligible. Other limitations of trajectory and Eulerian models have been discussed (30). 

The Eulerian multiphase model is used to predict the dispersed gas-liquid flow in the airlift loop reactor. It involves a set of momentum and continuity equations for each phase. Model equation coupling is achieved through the pressure and interphase exchange coefBcdents [5],...

In this model, two level-set functions (d, p) are defined to represent the droplet interface (d) and the moving particle surface (p), respectively. The free surface of the droplet is taken as the zero in the droplet level-set function 0> and the advection equation (Eq. (3)) of the droplet level-set function (droplet surface. The particle level-set function (4>p) is defined as the signed distance from any given point x in the Eulerian system to the particle surface ... 

The methods used for modeling pure granular flow are essentially borrowed from that of a molecular gas. Similarly, there are two main types of models the continuous (Eulerian) models (Dufty, 2000) and discrete particle (Lagrangian) models (Herrmann and Luding, 1998 Luding, 1998 Walton, 2004). The continuum models are developed for large-scale simulations, where the controlling equations resemble the Navier-Stokes equations for an ordinary gas flow. The discrete particle models (DPMs) are typically used in small-scale simulations or... 

An alternative approach (e.g., Patterson, 1985 Ranade, 2002) is the Eulerian type of simulation that makes use of a CDR equation—see Eq. (13)—for each of the chemical species involved. While resolution of the turbulent flow down to the Kolmogorov length scale already is far beyond computational capabilities, one certainly has to revert to modeling the species transport in liquid systems in which the Batchelor length scale is smaller than the Kolmogorov length scale by at least one order of magnitude see Eq. (14). Hence, both in RANS simulations and in LES, species concentrations and temperature still fluctuate within a computational cell. Consequently, the description of chemical reactions and the transport of heat and species in a chemical reactor ask for subtle approaches as to the SGS fluctuations. 

Aerosol production and transport over the oceans are of interest in studies concerning cloud physics, air pollution, atmospheric optics, and air-sea interactions. However, the contribution of sea spray droplets to the transfer of moisture and latent heat from the sea to the atmosphere is not well known. In an effort to investigate these phenomena, Edson et al.[12l used an interactive Eulerian-Lagrangian approach to simulate the generation, turbulent transport and evaporation of droplets. The k-e turbulence closure model was incorporated in the Eulerian-Lagrangian model to accurately simulate... 

For canonical turbulent flows (Pope 2000), the flow parameters required to complete the CRE models are readily available. However, for the complex flow fields present in most chemical reactors, the flow parameters must be found either empirically or by solving a CFD turbulence model. If the latter course is taken, the next logical step would be to attempt to reformulate the CRE model in terms of a set of transport equations that can be added to the CFD model. The principal complication encountered when following this path is the fact that the CRE models are expressed in a Lagrangian framework, whilst the CFD models are expressed in an Eulerian framework. One of the main goals of this book... 

U (/) = U(x1 (t), t) is illustrated in Fig. 2.3.1 Note that the Lagrangian velocity varies more slowly with time than the Eulerian counterpart shown in Fig. 2.2 (Yeung 2002). This fact has important ramifications on stochastic models for the Lagrangian velocity discussed in Chapter 6. 

V, ip, x, and t) in the PDF transport equation makes it intractable to solve using standard discretization methods. Instead, Lagrangian PDF methods (Pope 1994a) can be used to express the problem in terms of stochastic differential equations for so-called notional particles. In Chapter 7, we will discuss grid-based Eulerian PDF codes which also use notional particles. However, in the Eulerian context, a notional particle serves only as a discrete representation of the Eulerian PDF and not as a model for a Lagrangian fluid particle. The Lagrangian Monte-Carlo simulation methods discussed in Chapter 7 are based on Lagrangian PDF methods. 

Note that the turbulent diffusivity Tt(x, t) must be provided by a turbulence model, and for inhomogeneous flows its spatial gradient appears in the drift term in (6.177). If this term is neglected, the notional-particle location PDF, fx>, will not remain uniform when VTt / 0, in which case the Eulerian PDFs will not agree, i.e., i=- f0. 

The mathematical models used to infer rates of water motion from the conservative properties and biogeochemical rates from nonconservative ones were flrst developed in the 1960s. Although they require acceptance of several assumptions, these models represent an elegant approach to obtaining rate information from easily measured constituents in seawater, such as salinity and the concentrations of the nonconservative chemical of interest. These models use an Eulerian approach. That is, they look at how a conservative property, such as the concentration of a conservative solute C, varies over time in an infinitesimally small volume of the ocean. Since C is conservative, its concentrations can only be altered by water transport, either via advection and/or turbulent mixing. Both processes can move water through any or all of the three dimensions... 

A variety of statistical models are available for predictions of multiphase turbulent flows [85]. A large number of the application oriented investigations are based on the Eulerian description utilizing turbulence closures for both the dispersed and the carrier phases. The closure schemes for the carrier phase are mostly limited to Boussinesq type approximations in conjunction with modified forms of the conventional k-e model [87]. The models for the dispersed phase are typically via the Hinze-Tchen algebraic relation [88] which relates the eddy viscosity of the dispersed phase to that of the carrier phase. While the simplicity of this model has promoted its use, its nonuniversality has been widely recognized [88]. 

A number of different approaches have been taken to understanding the VOC-NO chemistry and its application to control strategy developments. These include the use of environmental chambers, models ranging from simple linear rollback to complex Eulerian models, and field studies. 

Models currently in use for developing control strategy options are grid-based, or Eulerian, models, the... 

For example, Kumar and Russell (1996) examined the effect on predicted ozone levels in the Los Angeles area of two different approaches now used for incorporating meteorology into a grid-based Eulerian model. The diagnostic approach is based on field measurements of the needed meteorological variables and in-... 

Figure 16.26, for example, shows ozone isopleths predicted for the Los Angeles area using the CIT Eulerian model under two different assumptions for the boundary and initial conditions (Winner et al., 1995). In Fig. 16.26a, the pollutant concentrations measured in the past were used to set the boundary and initial conditions. In Fig. 16.26b, concentrations measured in clean air over the Pacific Ocean upwind of the modeled area were used instead. The axes are given in terms of the percentage of VOC or NOx emissions compared to the baseline level on August 28, 1987, rather than in terms of absolute concentrations as for... 

Similarly, increasing the on-road exhaust vehicle emissions by a factor of three in a Eulerian model was found to improve the agreement between predicted and observed concentrations of O-, and organics in the...
