Garages require ventilation because the exhaust fumes produced by the vehicles have to be discharged. This can be achieved with a mechanical or a natural ventilation system. A natural ventilation system has several important advantages compared w
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.
