Natural Ventilation of Buses

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers: Automobile Division, 1960
This paper describes the utilization of the pressure and flow pattern existing around a vehicle when it is in motion. Methods by which these flow patterns can be made visible are described and the results of visual observations are discussed. As a result of these observations most suitable air inlet and outlet positions are established and the ...

Natural Ventilation Potential of Urban Buildings

International Journal of Ventilation, 2005
The design of a building should provide the flow paths needed for natural ventilation. Therefore, the decision to apply natural ventilation should be taken early in the building design process, when little information is available for airflow estimation.

Performance of ventilator components for natural ventilation applications

Building and Environment, 2006
Abstract This paper describes a series of laboratory experiments that investigated the airflow interactions that take place between components in louvered ventilators. The context of the work was to improve the design and performance of ventilators used in natural ventilation systems in buildings.

On the improvement of natural ventilation models

Energy and Buildings, 2013
Abstract This paper aims to validate and improve three cross and single-sided natural ventilation models implemented in a whole-building hygrothermal and energy simulation program. The tested models are the British Standard for cross ventilation, the de Gids and Phaff's and Larsen's for single-sided ventilation. Airflow rates obtained by those models

On the aerodynamics of natural ventilators

Building and Environment, 1984
Abstract The performance of natural ventilators subjected to the action of a free stream are experimentally investigated by using the method of Baturin. To analyse experimental data a mathematical model of the extraction characteristics is introduced.

The mechanisms involved in the natural ventilation of greenhouses

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 1996
Abstract Although natural ventilation is one of the major mechanisms that controls the greenhouse climate, our understanding of the underlying processes remains insufficient to allow accurate prediction of the rates of such exchanges. This paper deals with the physical mechanisms involved in natural ventilation of a greenhouse equipped with ...

A study of natural ventilation in a refuge floor

Building and Environment, 2007
Under the Building Codes of Hong Kong Special Administration Region, the provision of refuge floors has been an indispensable element in high-rise building design since 1996. Wind-induced cross natural ventilation is an important design criterion of a refuge floor since it helps to prevent any smoke entering to become persistent state remained (logging)
