Vertical plume meandering of gaseous pollutant is commonly experienced in the daytime atmospheric boundary layer (also know as convective boundary layer, CBL) that arose from the complicated interaction between buoyancy-generated turbulence and gravitational force. It leads to rapid pollutant mixing that cannot be accurately modeled by conventional Gaussian plume model. In the light of explaining the mechanism of plume rises and descents in CBLs, this study employs a direct numerical simulation (DNS) technique to compute the plume behaviors for pollutant emitted from line sources placed parallel to the spanwise direction in an unstably stratified turbulent open channel flow. The DNS results show that the plume meandering is due to the domination of uni-directional mean vertical pollutant fluxes above and below the mean plume height.
