Description
Summary:To achieve the precise quantification and real-time monitoring of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from stationary sources, this study developed a Gaussian plume model-based dispersion framework incorporating emission characteristics. Critical factors affecting CO<sub>2</sub> dispersion were systematically analyzed, with model optimization conducted through plume rise height adjustments and reflection coefficient calibrations. MATLAB-based simulations on an industrial park case study demonstrated that wind speed, atmospheric stability, and effective release height constituted pivotal determinants for enhancing CO<sub>2</sub> dispersion modeling accuracy. Furthermore, the inverse estimation of source strength at emission terminals was implemented via particle swarm optimization, establishing both theoretical foundations and methodological frameworks for the precision monitoring and predictive dispersion analysis of stationary-source CO<sub>2</sub> emissions.
