Abstract:
The combined effect of orography and temperature stratification on the dispersion of pollutants in an urban heat island is simulated on the basis of three-parametric E – e – <q2> (Т–RANS) approach to thermally penetrating convection above the heat island. Two models of the concentration turbulent flow are used for the dispersion of a tracer from a surface source into a stably stratified atmosphere <uic> i.e., the implicit algebraic model and calculation from a prognostic equation. The correlation <cq> between the concentration and temperature fluctuations is found from the solution of a prognostic equation in the both models. The algebraic model minimizes the difficulties in the simulation of turbulent transfer in a stably stratified atmosphere and provides for the results with acceptable accuracy as compared to the complete prognostic model of the concentration turbulent flow.
