The objective of this study is to determine processes of vertical ventilation above the X-shaped intersection in an idealised symmetric urban area in several approach flow directions. An experimental set-up for simultaneous measurement of the flow velocity and the tracer gas concentration was assembled. Vertical advective and turbulent fluxes of passive contaminant were computed from synchronised measured velocity and concentration signals in a regular grid placed at the roof top level above the studied intersection. Spatial distribution and contributions of the turbulent transport to ventilation of the area were determined.
