and they made another estimate.

However, they stuck to

the expanding cylinder with the homogeneous distribution &

they did not consider a vertical change of the cylinder,
Cur latest model, “ark iI ‘‘odel, allows for a different
type of expansion of the cloud.

<“e have considered a clohd

to expand according to a fickian law of diffusion and we
have chosed a diffusion constant that is as big as we can
get it without tearing the cloud apart.

‘¢ want to try

keep this cloud intact and expanding so we can't allow f

too big a diffusion coefficient, this would tear the clou
Also, because we don't want to tear the cloud apart, we
haven't considered the shear.

But this now gives you a

picture of what our cloud looks like at the end of six
hours.

te start out with an elipsoid of hozogeneous con-

centration 3 kilometers thick and S kiloneters in diase

and we assune that the center wont to a height of10
moters.

As the diffusion spread this cloud, the peak co

tration started to fall and these Lines here represent sh
where the concentration has fallen to 1% of the original
centration, 0.1% to 0.01% of the original concentration.
You must try to imacine that these shells initially, wien
the cloud is homogeneous, are all together, we cre upat 1
