Large eddy simulation of thermal stratification effect on convective and turbulent diffusion fluxes concerning gaseous pollutant dispersion around a high-rise model building
In this paper, the large eddy simulation (LES) approach is employed to investigate the role of different thermal stratification conditions (stable, neutral and unstable) in the air flow and gaseous pollutant dispersion processes around a high-rise non-isolated model building with 1:1:2 shape placed within a non-isothermal boundary layer. The simulation results are initially validated with available experimental measurements and then applied to study the characteristics of pollutant dispersion. Predictions show a low-velocity zone behind the model building. The major effect of a stable stratification on flow field is the formation of a weak recirculation flow in the wake region. Results represent an intense temperature gradient close to the sides of the model building for both stable and unstable conditions. Moreover, the convective and turbulent diffusion fluxes are compared under different thermal stratification conditions, and it is shown that the LES approach is capable of predicting the counter-gradient mechanism.
