The section entitled "Simple plume modelling" needs rewriting

The last part of the subject section (just below the four numbered comments) needs to be rewritten or removed. As it now stands, it is completely incomprehensible. mbeychok (talk) 22:32, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since no one has responded to my above comment, I will remove that incomprehensible section. mbeychok (talk) 17:17, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Remove or move Space Shuttle image?

A rocket "plume" doesn't seem like a very good example of a plume. It's really a vertical contrail, it's verticalness caused not by the motion of one fluid through another away from the source, but by the source moving through the atmosphere and leaving smoke and water vapor along the way, a cloud rather than a plume.

Agreed, its a jet not a plume. Replaced image with an image of a plume. Kees08 (talk) 02:44, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since Gaussian Plumes was the topic that I was focusing on, the page has more information on it than any other plumes that were briefly introduced. This may make the Gaussian Plumes overrepresented in the page, so contributions to other types of plumes would make the article more balanced.Is there another wiki page that is devoted to Guassian Plumes that I overlooked?Tamagon103 (talk) 18:08, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
