NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS
Involves solving a system of partial differential
equations
Equations mathematically represent the fate of
pollutants downwind concentration
The number of unknown parameters must be
equal to number of equations
System of equation is written in numerical form
with appropriate numerical scheme and solved
using computer codes
