Enhancement of Natural Ventilation using Solar Chimney: A Numerical Investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rural areas have shortage of electricity, so natural ventilation becomes necessary. Ventilation through solar chimney harnesses solar energy as energy source and can be installed in rural buildings for improvement of air circulation.

Evaluating single-sided natural ventilation models against full-scale idealised measurements: impact of wind direction and turbulence [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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.

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

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

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 ...

Review of Intelligent Control Systems for Natural Ventilation as Passive Cooling Strategy for UK Buildings and Similar Climatic Conditions

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Natural ventilation is gaining more attention from architects and engineers as an alternative way of cooling and ventilating indoor spaces. Based on building types, it could save between 13 and 40% of the building cooling energy use.
