Numerical Study of a Vertical Channel Heated from Below to Enhance Natural Ventilation in a Residential Building | 2013 | English
Computational Analysis of Wind-Driven Natural Ventilation in a Two Sided Rectangular Wind Catcher | 2013 | English
Wind catchers are natural ventilation systems attached to buildings in order to ventilate the indoor air.
Measurements and Numerical Simulation of the Gas-Solid Flow Generated by Machining Operation | 2013 | English
As a part of the development of a numerical method of close capture exhaust systems for machining devices, a test rig recreating a situation similar to a grinding operation, but in a perfectly controlled environment, was produced.
PIV Measurements of Air Distribution in a Reduced-Scale Model - Ventilation of a Busbar Corridor in a Hydropower Station | 2013 | English
On the basis of modelling with similarity theory and by using the Archimedes number, Ar, as the similitude parameter, this paper analyzes the air distribution of a busbar corridor in a hydropower station by using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PI
It is estimated that people in the developed world spend more than 85-90% of their time indoors. Of this, most is spent in homes. To minimize health risks from pollutants occurring in homes, exposures should be controlled.
A Study on the Indoor Environment of the Main Building of the National Museum of Western Art, in Japan, for the Development of a Retrofit Scheme | 2013 | English
The National Museum of Western Art is the only work of Le Corbusier in Japan and 50 years have already passed since its construction.
The Proportion of Residences in European Countries with Ventilation Rates below the Regulation Based Limit Value | 2013 | English
The rate of ventilation in buildings is regulated in most European countries to provide a sufficient exchange of clean air to maintain and ensure the health and comfort of building occupants.
INRS has evaluated the performance of fume extraction systems on road pavement asphalt pavers over a two year period between 2009 and 2011.
Investigation of the Parameters that Influence the Effectiveness of an Open Fronted Enclosure | 2013 | English
Open fronted ventilated enclosures are commonly used in industry to control worker exposure to a wide range of chemicals.
On-Site Particle and Gas Filtration Efficiencies of Air Handling Unit Filters in Industrial and Non Industrial Building | 2013 | English
Air handling units are used to provide a mixture of fresh and recycled (recirculated) air to buildings.
The aim of this study was to develop a simplified CFD model for the inlet jet of a swirl diffuser for the simulation of room airflow patterns.
A Study of the Influence of Wind on the Containment of Pollutants inside Industrial Buildings | 2013 | English
Industrial buildings, as in the nuclear industry, are equipped with ventilation systems, the main role of which is to ensure pollutant containment inside the facility during normal, damaged or accidental situations.
A pilot survey was undertaken from September 2009 to June 2011 in 310 schools and day-care centres distributed in all regions of France including overseas departments.
A quadrature method of moments, based on the population balance approach, was chosen to model nanoparticle coagulation and transport.
PIV Study of Ventilation Quality in Certain Occupied Regions of a Two-Dimensional Room Model with Rapidly Varying Flow Rates | 2013 | English
The use of supply jet flows is the most common type of air distribution for general ventilation. Usually the supply flow rate is constant or slowly varying (VAV-systems) to cope with a varying load.
