CFD Simulations on Balcony Spill Plume

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied to study a bal cony spill plume. The CFD model CC-EXACT reported earlier was selected as the simulator. A linear correlation equation for the mass flow rates of a spill plume was derived and compared with those appearing in the literature.
