Several studies have been carried out on CFD prediction based on a RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations) model for dispersion around buildings, but it was reported that a RANS computation often provides extremely high concentration, which are not observed in usual measurements. These results suggest that transient simulations such as the large-eddy simulation (LES) might be required to achieve more accurate results. Nevertheless, very few studies have evaluated the basic performance of LES in modeling the dispersion field for a simple configuration in comparison with the RANS model. Therefore, relative performance of these simulation methods for dispersion problem around buildings should be clarified in order to make it possible to choose a suitable numerical method for its purpose. The purpose of this study is to confirm the accuracy of LES in modeling plume dispersion near and around a simple building model and to clarify the mechanism for the discrepancy in relation to the RANS computation. Simple LES modeling gives better results than RNG modeling of the distribution of concentration, although the difference for mean velocity is not so large. The horizontal diffusion of concentration is well reproduced by LES. This tendency is closely related to the reproduction of unsteady periodic fluctuation around cubical forms in LES.
