The stochastic fields method for turbulent reacting flows has been applied to the issue of sub-grid scale emis- sion heterogeneity in a mesoscale model. This method is a solution technique for the probability density function (PDF) transport equation and can be seen as a straightforward ex- tension of currently used mesoscale dispersion models. It has been implemented in an existing mesoscale model and the re- sults are compared with Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) data devised to test specifically the effect of sub-grid scale emis- sion heterogeneity on boundary layer concentration fluctua- tions. The sub-grid scale emission variability is assimilated in the model as a PDF of the emissions. The stochastic fields method shows excellent agreement with the LES data with- out adjustment of the constants used in the mesoscale model. The stochastic fields method is a stochastic solution of the transport equations for the concentration PDF of dispersing scalars, therefore it possesses the ability to handle chemistry of any complexity without the need to introduce additional closures for the high order statistics of chemical species. This study shows for the first time the feasibility of applying this method to mesoscale chemical transport models.
