Abstract
Vortex interactions within a two-dimensional street canyon are analysed using the numerical Green’s function. On account of the inhomogeneity of the domain, vortex interactions are asymmetric: the influence of a street-level vorticity source on the roof-level shear layer differs from that of the latter on the street level. Consequently the magnitudes of the induced vertical velocities are maximised at different aspect ratios. It is argued that the transition from isolated roughness to wake interference is related to the onset of strong long-range interactions while the transition from wake interference to skimming flow is related to the weakening of these interactions. The Green’s function analysis is verified using three-dimensional large-eddy simulations.
