Abstract
The HEGADAS program models the dispersion of releases of heavier-than-air gases to the atmosphere. The model is an integral model which uses assumed profile (e.g., concentration profile) shapes and empirical relations describing air entrainment. The model provides for a smooth transition to passive dispersion. Descriptions of heat transfer from the ground and water vapor transfer are also included. The source release rate may be constant or time-dependent (e.g., evaporating liquid pool). Software Description: The software is written in the FORTRAN language for use on an IBM PC or compatible machines using DOS 3.1 or higher operating system. Memory requirement is 512K.
