Review text

Summary: In this paper, the turbulent dispersion of a passive scalar released from a continuous ground-level point-source in two obstacle arrays is simulated using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method. An explicit algebraic nonlinear turbulent stress model and a tensor-diffusivity scalar-flux model are used for the closure of the ensemble-averaged momentum and scalar transport equations, respectively. We model the principal physical mechanisms governing the transport of the second-order concentration statistics of a passive scalar. The results of the simulation for the flow and concentration statistics are compared against two sets of high-quality water-channel measurement data obtained using laser induced fluorescence (for concentration) and laser Doppler anemometry (for velocity).
