Abstract

This work presents results of numerical simulation of turbulent flow in a fully developed flow in a series of street canyons. The motivation for this numerical study was an experiment by Kellnerová et al. (Detailed analysis of POD method applied on turbulent flow. In: EPJ web of conferences, vol 25. http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/epjconf/20122501038, 2012). The flow, as well as scalar fluxes, is investigated using proper orthogonal decomposition and spectral analysis. The flow is compared for two shapes of buildings.
