With the aim to understand air pollutant dispersion among high-density, high-rise buildings, this paper presents the numerical results of three-dimensional flows around two identical square cylinders TISCs in staggered arrangements at a Reynolds number of 250 and zero incident angle when the angle between the incoming velocity vector and the line connecting the centers of the cylinders is 45°. The dependence of the drag and lift, their root mean square values, and the Strouhal number on the horizontal spacing have been evaluated. It was found that the correlation coefficients between the drag and lift of the upstream square cylinder SC-I were close to unity, with those for the downstream square cylinder SC-II exhibiting a wavy form along the spanwise direction. The wavelength and the magnitude are closely related to the cylinder spacing. Secondary vortex coherent structures as well as the primary vortex structures were reported and discussed. © 2006 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.2194077 Flows around two identical square cylinders TISCs are idealized representation of airflows around buildings and many other engineering structures. Flows encountered around buildings can vary from low Re number creeping flows to fully developed turbulent flows, depending on wind conditions. The study of the TISC flow at low Reynolds number conditions is related to the understanding of the dispersion of indoor air pollutants, and particularly pathogenladen aerosols around high-density, high-rise buildings, as witnessed in the recent SARS outbreak. 1 Owing to the effect of the gap flow between the two square cylinders, the nearwake interference, and the possible far-wake emergence, certain important flow characteristics need to be explored. However, the corresponding numerical work remains scarce, while more recent studies were conducted on circular cylinder flows, and most of them are experimental work. 2 It was reported that for the flow around two staggered identical circular cylinders in cross-flow, there exist nine patterns when the center-to-center pitch ratio varies from 1 to 5, and the angle of incident changes from zero to 90°, with Reynolds number ranging from 850 to 1900. It was suggested that the vortex shedding frequencies are more properly associated with individual shear layers rather than with individual circular cylinders; more specifically, the two shear layers from the downstream cylinder often shed vortices at different frequencies. The presence of gap flow effects results in complicated patterns of multiple cylinders flow, not only in the primary flow but also in the secondary flows when the Re is beyond the critical transitional value. Therefore, the spacing between the cylinders and the orientation relative to the freestream are dominant features that affect the flow interference, which might lead to the ineffectiveness for most methods used in suppressing the vortex shedding from multiple cylinders. 3‐6 The spacing effect on the multicylinder wake flow has been measured and reported extensively, 7‐10 but the relevant situation is either for side-by-side or tandem cylinder arrangement. Furthermore, in most of these studies 3‐10 the associa
