LoginThat study demonstrated the capability of CFD to predict buoyancy-driven displacement natural ventilation flows in a single-storey space connected to an atrium.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
In both airspeed and thermal fields, a scale-model study of an non-isothermal ceiling slot-ventilated enclosure was investigated. Semi-empirical prediction equations have been established.
A numerical study of assessment of the performance of a windcatcher using CFD is presented in this paper.
One of the common approaches for assessing indoor pollutant level is the continuous sampling. Alternative sampling schemes taking shorter measurements were proposed.
The indoor air quality is influenced in the long term by the chemical contaminants emitted by dried building material.
How the contaminants disperse in a personalized ventilation room has to be studied carefully in so far the contaminant distribution determines IAQ.
The aim of that research is to obtain contaminant concentrations in a room, to perform qualitative and quantitative comparison for a wall jet air inlet and a ceiling diffuser air inlet, and to determine more efficient inlet and outlet configuratio
The numerical simulation results of the stack effect in medium-rise buildings in Harbin (cold region in China) are presented in that paper. The multizone ventilation model COMIS was used for the simulation.
For the experiment detailed airflow fields were measured in three cases of ventilation air temperature : an isothermal case, a hot case and a cold case.The experimental data have been used to test four two equations turbulence models.
For that paper, a case study was conducted to compare the performance of two control methods in an office environment : conventional setpoint control and predicted mean vote (PMV) based control.
For that study, the performance of two personalized ventilation systems supplying air at the breathing zone have been tested in a full-scale test room in conjunction with underfloor ventilation.Breathing thermal manikins were used for the simulati
Shaft power matching and performance prediction for contra-rotating axial flow fans | 2007 | English
For that study, the authors have performed a numerical simulation of the flow field for a design of contra-rotating axial flow fans (CRAFF).
For that study , measurements of carbon dioxide and ultrafine particles were carried out in four restaurants located in 2 different cities in northwest Ohio.
The Goal and the target methods are discussed in this study , they are used for balancing exhaust ventilation duct systems with dampers. For each, a detailed step-by-step procedure is presented.
Researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health have evaluated the relationship between flow differential and pressure differential in 67 Airborne infection isolation rooms (AIIRs) and simulated AIRR.
Numerical simulations of push-pull ventilation systems are presented in this paper. That device is commonly used for the capture of pollutants form large tanks used in industrial chemical processes.
For that paper, a leading commercially available ionic air cleaner has been tested in a typical residential apartment in order to study the effect of the device on indoor/outdoor particle number and mass concentration ratios.
Comfort addresses the acoustics, air quality, lighting and thermal aspects of the environment. The environmental preference is based on value judgments and its measurement is difficult.
This paper is a review of the major planning issues associated with data center design. It also describes how those issues were addressed in one recently completed data center.
An initial reading of USP 797 might appear intimidating, but compliance is not so uneasy.
