Ventilation Characteristics and Performance Evaluation of Different Window-Opening Forms in a Typical Office Room

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
As most existing office buildings in China lack fresh air systems for ventilation, natural ventilation with windows remains the main means of improving indoor air quality and adjusting indoor thermal comfort.

Large-Eddy Simulations of Wind-Driven Cross Ventilation, Part 2: Comparison of Ventilation Performance Under Different Ventilation Configurations

open access: yesFrontiers in Built Environment, 2022
Natural ventilation can contribute to a sustainable and healthy built environment, but the flow can be highly dependent on the ventilation configuration and the outdoor turbulent wind conditions.

Integrating low energy cooling and ventilation strategies in Indian residences

open access: yesBuildings & Cities, 2022
Rapidly developing economies of countries in hot climates face the risk of a significant increase in CO2 emissions. This study developed strategies for low energy cooling and ventilation for Indian residences (LECaVIR). Ventilation and cooling techniques

Natural Ventilation Properties and Thermal Environments of a Closed Underground Mine

open access: yesJournal of MMIJ, 2016
In this study, we measured properties of natural ventilation in a closed Arakawa mine and considered those properties theoretically. The natural ventilation pressure was estimated from the ratio of leakage airflow to the airflow when the ventilation door

Characterizing the chaotic nature of ocean ventilation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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

Large-eddy simulations to define building-specific similarity relationships for natural ventilation flow rates

open access: yesFlow, 2023
Natural ventilation can play an important role towards preventing the spread of airborne infections in indoor environments. However, quantifying natural ventilation flow rates is a challenging task due to significant variability in the boundary ...
