This study presents an improved large-eddy simulation (LES) model for predicting pollutant dispersion in urban environments, accounting for thermal stratification, humidity, and heat exchange processes. The model incorporates potential temperature and moisture as active scalars, includes phase-change effects through the Lift Condensation Level, and is validated against real meteorological data, showing good agreement with observed atmospheric boundary layer behavior.

Abstract

This study presents an improved large-eddy simulation (LES) model for predicting pollutant dispersion in urban environments, accounting for thermal stratification, humidity, and heat exchange processes. The model incorporates potential temperature and moisture as active scalars, includes phase-change effects through the Lift Condensation Level, and is validated against real meteorological data, showing good agreement with observed atmospheric boundary layer behavior.
