Abstract
This study aims at estimating the inherent variability of microscale boundary-layer flows and its impact on air pollutant dispersion in urban environments. For this purpose, we present a methodology combining high-fidelity large-eddy simulation (LES) and a stationary bootstrap algorithm, to estimate the internal variability of time-averaged quantities over a given analysis period thanks to sub-average samples. A detailed validation of an LES microscale air pollutant dispersion model in the framework of the Mock Urban Setting Test (MUST) field-scale experiment is performed. We show that the LES results are in overall good agreement with the experimental measurements of wind velocity and tracer concentration, especially in terms of fluctuations and peaks of concentrations. We also show that both LES estimates and the MUST experimental measurements are subject to significant internal variability, which is therefore essential to take into account in the model validation. Moreover, we demonstrate that the LES model can accurately reproduce the observed internal variability.
摘要 本研究旨在估算微尺度边界层流动的内在可变性及其对城市环境空气污染物扩散的影响。为此，我们提出了一种结合高保真大涡度模拟（LES）和静态自举算法的方法，利用次平均样本估算给定分析期内时间平均量的内部变异性。在模拟城市环境测试（MUST）实地试验框架内，对 LES 微尺度空气污染物扩散模型进行了详细验证。结果表明，LES 结果与风速和示踪剂浓度的实验测量结果总体上吻合，特别是在浓度的波动和峰值方面。我们还表明，LES 估计值和 MUST 实验测量值都存在显著的内部变异，因此在模型验证时必须考虑到这一点。此外，我们还证明了 LES 模型能够准确再现观测到的内部变异性。
期刊介绍：
Boundary-Layer Meteorology offers several publishing options: Research Letters, Research Articles, and Notes and Comments. The Research Letters section is designed to allow quick dissemination of new scientific findings, with an initial review period of no longer than one month. The Research Articles section offers traditional scientific papers that present results and interpretations based on substantial research studies or critical reviews of ongoing research. The Notes and Comments section comprises occasional notes and comments on specific topics with no requirement for rapid publication. Research Letters are limited in size to five journal pages, including no more than three figures, and cannot contain supplementary online material; Research Articles are generally fifteen to twenty pages in length with no more than fifteen figures; Notes and Comments are limited to ten journal pages and five figures. Authors submitting Research Letters should include within their cover letter an explanation of the need for rapid publication. More information regarding all publication formats can be found in the recent Editorial ‘Introducing Research Letters to Boundary-Layer Meteorology’.
