Consider the following statements about downwash:

1. Stack tip downwash follows from low exit velocity relative to wind speed.

2. Building downwash follows from the wake cavity around a structure.

3. Both are prevented by increasing the emission rate.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 correctly describe the two mechanisms. Statement 3 is nonsense: the emission rate has no bearing on downwash, which is an aerodynamic effect - and raising it would simply increase the concentration that the downwash then brings to the ground.
