Numerical research on cross-ventilation flow of a generic building in unsheltered and sheltered conditions: impact of cross-section [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2022 The performances of ventilation in the buildings with quadrate and cylindrical cross-sections are compared numerically. The incoming jet in the cylindrical unsheltered-building is more horizontal in comparison to the quadrate unsheltered-building.

A DDES Model with Subgrid-scale Eddy Viscosity for Turbulent Flow [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022 The original (delayed) detached-eddy simulation ((D)DES), a widely used and efficient hybrid turbulence method, is confronted with some flaws containing grid-induced separation (GIS), log-layer mismatch (LLM), and slow RANS-LES transition. A novel hybrid
