Detrainment of plumes from vertically distributed sources
Bonnebaigt, Rachael; Caulfield, Colm-cille Patrick; Linden, Paul Frederick (SpringerEnvironmental Fluid Mechanics, 2016-11-22)We present experimental results demonstrating that, for the turbulent plume from a buoyancy source that is vertically distributed over the full area of a wall, detrainment qualitatively changes the shape of the ambient ...

Modelling the effects on building temperatures of phase change materials
Bonnebaigt, Rachael (Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of CambridgeUniversity of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2016-11-08)In this thesis, three problems motivated by the possibility of use of phase change materials in buildings are presented. First, a model for the response of phase change material (PCM) to a varying room temperature is ...
