wet plume
My first reference is the second Google hit for this phrase, a bilingual graduate thesis from Canada.
Its title is
CALCUL DE LA TRAJECTOIRE D'UN PANACHE HUMIDE DANS UN
ENVIRONNEMENT STRATIFIÉ.
and the English summary at the beginning reads:
The aim of the present work is to model the propertîes of this kind of plume, named a "wet plume", by taking into account the thermodynamic phenomena at the stack exit.

As the thesis explains, a wet plume is one that's been washed with water or alkali solution to remove contaminants.
