Controls on boundary layer ventilation: Boundary layer processes and large-scale dynamics [PDF]
Midlatitude cyclones are important contributors to boundary layer ventilation. However, it is uncertain how efficient such systems are at transporting pollutants out of the boundary layer, and variations between cyclones are unexplained. In this study 15

CFD Investigation of Enhancing Natural Ventilation in Attached Family House Buildings in Hungary [PDF]
Energy consumption of the residential sector in Hungary is 12% higher than the EU average. Most of existing house buildings in Hungary are inefficient in term of their indoor comfort and energy consumption. This is where the refurbishment process takes a

Homogeneity of passively ventilated waste tanks [PDF]
Gases and vapors in the high-level radioactive waste underground storage tanks at the Hanford Site are being characterized to help resolve waste storage safety issues and estimate air emissions. Characterization is accomplished by collecting and analyzing air samples from the headspaces of the tanks.

Pedestrian-Level Urban Wind Flow Enhancement with Wind Catchers
Dense urban areas restrict air movement, causing airflow in urban street canyons to be much lower than the flow above buildings. Boosting near-ground wind speed can enhance thermal comfort in warm climates by increasing skin convective heat transfer.
