The purpose of this research was to assess the performance of air infiltration or naturally driven ventilation, the corresponding energy consumption and…
An understanding of airflow patterns in operating rooms is required if the design of air distribution systems in such environments is to be improved and the…
Functional availability is used to quantify the probability of a system’s capability both to be in an
operational state and, at the same time, maintain…
This paper presents some results of the research project "Domestic Violence and Architectural Space", sponsored by several Mexican Governmental Offices and…
The interaction of turbulent plumes is examined in the context of building ventilation flows. Recent models for natural ventilation have been based on…
A model has been proposed for evaluating the discharge coefficient according to the flow angle at an inflow opening for cross-ventilation. This model is…
The design of a building should provide the flow paths needed for natural ventilation. Therefore, the decision to apply natural ventilation should be taken…
Among the tools which serve to predict heat and mass transfer in a mechanically ventilated room, CFD is increasingly used. However, this type of tool needs…
