Abstract
The dynamic process of thermal convection is simulated by computer. The model provides for tagging the thermals with electrically charged dust and smoke particles.... Preliminary experiments over industrial smoke plumes which are artificially tagged by electrostatic precipitators, indicate that thermal structure can be correlated to the simulation model...
