A two-zone model for natural cross-ventilation
(ElsevierBuilding and Environment, 2015-07-01)
Cross-ventilation flows (CV) are characterized by significant inflow momentum conservation as fluid flows across an enclosed rectangular volume as a confined jet. When the inflow area is smaller than the volume cross-sectional ...
Gravity current propagation up a valley
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015-01-10)
The advance of the front of a dense gravity current propagating in a rectangular channel and V-shaped valley both horizontally and up a low slope is examined through theory, full-depth lock-release laboratory experiments ...
The effects of an opposing buoyancy force on the performance of an air curtain in the doorway of a building
(ElsevierEnergy and Buildings, 2015-06-01)
We investigate the effects of an opposing buoyancy force on the performance of an air curtain in the doorway which separates a warm indoor environment from the cold exterior. Such an opposing buoyancy force arises for ...
