英文摘要：

In this paper, we review practices and progresses in the study of pollution dispersion in urban atmosphere. We introduce the inherent features of urban environmental flow, as well as the application of a modern computational fluid dynamic （CFD） method, namely, the large eddy simulation for the study of urban atmospheric environment. We describe the mathematical model, governing equations, subgrid scale model, well-posed initial-boundary conditions and numerical method. In this paper, we focus on a coupling scheme between meso- and micro-scale motions, and a combined underlying surface model for the complex urban canopy, which satisfies the resolution requirements with relatively lower computing load. Practical simulations are presented and analyzed, including the statistical estimation of reliability and the turbulent characteristics, etc. Finally, further improvements needed for numerical methods of urban environment simulations are pointed out, and a number of key scientific problems are raised for numerical studies on urban environmental flows and pollution dispersion.
