Atmospheric Pollution and Transport Simulator
RADM™ is a Random-Walk model for simulation of dispersion processes in turbulent fluids., In particular it has been successfully used for air pollution studies.
It employs a stochastic approach to solve the governing transport equations for motion of an inert or reactive species. It allows for arbitrary fluid and particle velocity to be superimposed on a random (or turbulent) motion of particles. The particles may undergo chemical reaction, radioactive decay, settling and drag. Arbitrary complex terrain, arbitrary wind fields and inversion conditions are accommodated.
Single or multiple fixed, mobile or area sources may be present. Its primary applications are in air pollution though any dispersion process may be simulated. Typical petrochemical applications include those of air pollution from refinery stacks and effluent discharges.
The user interface is through the conversational FREEFORM language which provides for simple English-like command syntax and allows command-line execution of the program. FREEFORM is a common language used by other Analytic & Computational Research Inc. (ACRi) software as well.
RADM is available on any computing platform that supports a FORTRAN compiler. These include all Windows, LINUX and UNIX platforms.
