Climatic potential for natural ventilation [PDF]
Architectural Science Review, 2015 Naturally ventilated buildings have been widely adopted, because they may increase user satisfaction and well-being while reducing energy consumption due to heating ventilation and air conditioning systems. Analysis and simulation tools are required at different design stages to support the usage of natural ventilation.

Characterizing the chaotic nature of ocean ventilation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2017 AbstractVentilation of the upper ocean plays an important role in climate variability on interannual to decadal timescales by influencing the exchange of heat and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and ocean. The turbulent nature of ocean circulation, manifest in a vigorous mesoscale eddy field, means that pathways of ventilation, once thought to be

Evaluating single-sided natural ventilation models against full-scale idealised measurements: impact of wind direction and turbulence [PDF]
, 2020 Commonly single-sided natural ventilation is used in temperate climates to provide comfortable and healthy indoor environments. However, within built-up areas it is difficult to predict natural ventilation rates for buildings as they depend on many flow ...
