This work presents a mathematical modeling and numerical solution of dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. The equations of conservation of mass, amount of movement, energy and a chemical species are solved by the Finite Volume Method in Cartesian coordinates and the turbulence closure is based on the Reynolds averages (RANS models), using the model k-ε for the determination of the fields of velocity, temperature and, in a specific case, concentration of pollutant. The numerical results are compared with data from the classic Prairie Grass experiment, showing excellent agreement.
