We test the reliability of an inverse model to estimate the amount of mass released instantaneously by a source of pollutant in a turbulent boundary layer. To that purpose we use wind tunnel experiments simulating the dispersion of puffs due to the impulsive release of pollutant. For each of these emissions we recorded time dependent signals at fixed receptors. These single signals have been ...

A basic principle of safety can be illustrated by the accident triangle. This principle states that for each accidental death that occurs, there are X instances of human injury, Y instances of property damage, and Z instances of what we will call Near Misses (in which the hazardous situation exists but an accident does not occur). Common examples of Near Miss behavior include smoking in bed, or ...
