The dispersion of gas turbine exhaust plumes from offshore plattforms can have a significant effect on the safety of both helicopters and personnel operating on the platform. A wind tunnel simulation technique is reviewed in which a lighter-than-air gas mixture is released from a geometrically scaled model in a simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer. The significance of the various non-dimensional parameters is assessed in relation to typical model scales of between 1:150 and 1:300. Results from an investigation on a typical platform layout illustrate the implementation of the suggested measuring technique, and the solution of frequently encountered problems with turbine exhaust installations.
