Scalar fluxes near a tall building in an aligned array of rectangular buildings
Scalar dispersion from ground level sources in arrays of buildings is investigated using wind-tunnel measurements and large eddy simulation (LES). An array of uniform height buildings of equal dimensions and an array with an additional single tall building (wind tunnel) or a periodically repeated tall building (LES) are considered. The buildings in the array are aligned and form long streets. Sensitivity of the dispersion pattern to small changes of wind direction is demonstrated. Vertical scalar fluxes are decomposed into the advective and turbulent parts and the influences of wind direction and of the presence of the tall building on scalar flux components are evaluated. In the uniform height array turbulent scalar fluxes were dominant, whereas the tall building causes increase of the magnitude of advective scalar fluxes which become the largest component.

Abstract
Scalar dispersion from ground level sources in arrays of buildings is investigated using wind-tunnel measurements and large eddy simulation (LES). An array of uniform height buildings of equal dimensions and an array with an additional single tall building (wind tunnel) or a periodically repeated tall building (LES) are considered. The buildings in the array are aligned and form long streets. Sensitivity of the dispersion pattern to small changes of wind direction is demonstrated. Vertical scalar fluxes are decomposed into the advective and turbulent parts and the influences of wind direction and of the presence of the tall building on scalar flux components are evaluated. In the uniform height array turbulent scalar fluxes were dominant, whereas the tall building causes increase of the magnitude of advective scalar fluxes which become the largest component.
