Modelling and simulation of the thermal behaviour of a dwelling under Allan.

This paper describes the modelling and the experimental validation under ALLAN™ Simulation software 3 of a dwelling subjected to actual indoor and outdoor conditions. The construction of the global model is made in two steps:

Measurement of cross-contamination between vehicles using scalemodels

This paper deals with the problem of exhaust cross-contamination between vehicles in a slow-moving traffic queue, as would be found in a busy modern city. This study has been undertaken using an open-jet wind tunnel, to determine the level of exhaust contamination around a 1:10 scale model car under various prevailing wind conditions. Tracer-gas techniques have been combined with static pressure measurements, to model the flow of pollutants around a vehicle body.

Fire spread in cavities: model behaviour

Fire-barrier requirements in above-ceiling spaces have been relaxed in the new Building Regulations. Anthony Ferguson explains why, and looks at the computer modelling involved.
