Abstract

In this paper results concerning a diffusion experiment on a small scale model of a waste incinerator, carried out in a boundary layer wind tunnel, will be presented. At the beginning a description of the measurement system that has recently been placed in the wind tunnel will be given together with a study of repeatability of the measurements results. A comprehensive study of the flow mean characteristics at different position in the tunnel working section will be reported and at the end some vertical and horizontal concentration profiles results will be described and discussed.
