To investigate the dispersion of aerosols in an airflow, a test facility was build at the HermannRietschel- Institute. The distribution of aerosols across the cross section of the test duct was measured at several distances from the emission source. The turbulence intensity of the airflow in the duct was varied by installing different turbulence generating grids (I% to 20%) at the top of the test duct. Far enough downstream the source, the concentration profiles have a Gaussian distribution.
