A new model has been proposed for evaluating the discharge coefficient and flow angle at an inflow opening for cross-ventilation. This model is based on the…
The proposed local dynamic similarity model of cross-ventilation predicted ventilation flow rates more accurately than the conventional orifice flow model…
The wind and buoyancy pressure driving forces for natural ventilation of buildings are very low, typically less than 10 Pa. Depending upon the prevailing…
Natural ventilation is a sustainable, energy-efficient and clean technology that is well accepted by occupants. It can be used to provide fresh air for…
An overview is given of the current position regarding the use of wind tunnel modelling and envelope flow theory for determining natural ventilation through…
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) modelling of particle transport has been applied for the control of airborne particles in the operating zone above the…
This study simulated the performance of various mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation systems, incorporating heat recovery, in a typical Finnish…
The characteristics of a hybrid air-conditioning system, utilising natural and mechanical 'task' ventilation, are investigated in an office setting. The…
Creating a computer model that is able to simulate different ventilation scenarios within a structure is essential for improving the understanding of…
This paper describes an analysis using the BRE Pollution Dispersion Wind Tunnel to estimate pollution concentration patterns on buildings in urban arrays…
The problem of the hygienic state of air-conditioning installations in many countries is still treated with limited attention and, in general, this issue is…
Global Information Systems (GIS) are being used to provide data on a wide range of environmental issues, and in the area of climate studies they are being…
The aim of this work is to investigate turbulent air flows, through measurements inside railway coaches employed for the transport of sick persons. In this…
Natural ventilation, which may provide occupants with good indoor air quality and a high level of thermal comfort, and reduce energy costs, has become an…
The observation of wind pressure acting on the wall and floor of a full-scale building model under cross ventilation was carried out. The measurement of air…
