Which statement about building downwash is TRUE?

  • A.It is prevented by reducing exit velocity
  • B.It affects only very short stacks
  • C.A plume in the wake cavity reaches the ground
  • D.It only occurs in unstable conditions

Answer: C

Correct answer: A plume in the wake cavity reaches the ground

A building disturbs the flow around it and creates a recirculating cavity in its lee. A plume drawn into that cavity is mixed to the ground immediately, so the whole benefit of the stack is lost. The remedies work the other way from the option offered: *raising* the exit velocity and building the stack to about two and a half times the height of the nearby structure keep the plume clear of the wake.
