How to transfer source intensity variability to upper atmospheric layers? Turbulent motions are responsible for creating and generating scalars concentration variance In RANS scalar variance is accounted for by means of the variance conservation equations The source variability at the surface can be though as a boundary condition of scalar variance equation that will take care of describing its transport in x, y and z, creation and dissipation Stefano Galmarini, DG-Joint Research Center, IES

Approach U=5m.s-1 Total duration LES=3hours The dynamic at the end of the first hour is used to fed FVM (u,v,w,theta). Then emission is released for 2 two hours. Statistics are done over the last hour. 10 Km 10 Km LES =100 x 100 grid cells, 100 m resolution Sv3=64% of 5x5km2 (LES-1) Sv4=36% of 5x5km2(LES-2) Sv5=25% of 5x5km2(LES-3) Sv6=16% of 5x5km2(LES-4) Release of=0.1 ppb.m.s-1 FVM= 2 x 2 grid cells, 5 km resolution Stefano Galmarini, DG-Joint Research Center, IES
