Abstract
The paper presents numerical results from a computer simulation of the flow and flue gas distribution around a building complex. The buildingcomplex simulated consists of six buildings with different heights and shapes. The source of flue gas is a chimney of a local heat generation unit equipped with a 45 [MW] hot water boiler firing natural gas. Two cases which differ in the height of the chimney are studied: in the first case the chimney has a height of 40 [m] above the ground level and in the second - a height of 48 [m]. It is shown that the plume reaches one of the buildings in the site. Although it was found that for the conditions specified in the present study there is no hazardous concentration of any of the pollutants in the flue gas around the building, the situation could easily change, especially for the case with the lower chimney - e.g., when a stronger wind appears.
