Air flow in an enclosed space, whether from natural or mechanical ventilation, has generally a rather slow velocity, 0.1-0.25 m/s, but may still cause local discomfort. Tests were carried out on laminar and turbulent air flows in this velocity range. Turbulent air flow was found to always cause more discomfort than linear air flow.
