- The present paper investigates the mass spreading in the near-field and far-field regions of the evolution of turbulent jets of air by means of Large Eddy Simulations and a theoretical analysis. A new mathematical model demonstrates the self-similarity of the mass spreading in both the near-field and the far-field of the jet, representing an advancement from the well-established Gaussian Plume Model (GPM). This new model can therefore be applied to more accurately predict pollution dispersion in the atmosphere.
