Abstract Large Eddy Simulation (LES) undeniably has the potential to provide more accurate
and more reliable results than simulations based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes …

Displacement ventilation and chilled ceiling panel systems are potentially more energy
efficient than conventional air conditioning systems and are characterized by the presence …

In this work, the performance of an intermittent personalized ventilation system coupled with
a chilled ceiling was evaluated based on its ability to provide comfort and protect occupants …

A windexchanger is a small structure placed on the roof of a building with the aim of
increasing the wind driven ventilation. In the literature, this structure is usually named as a …

This paper presents a systematic experimental study on stream-wise flow development and
spatial structure of triple buoyant plumes. Two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (2-D …

In exposure studies and risk assessments, the intake of a pollutant through inhalation is
often estimated using the well mixed concentration in the room. Less traditional ventilation …

High heat loads in industrial buildings potentially form strong natural convective flows.
These flows exhibit significant unsteadiness and anisotropy, which can profoundly impact …

In the literature on ventilation, residential ventilation systems have traditionally received less
attention due to their relatively low capacity and complexity. Nevertheless, the large energy …

Supersonic steam's axial injection into water in a cylindrical vessel (1 m high and 24 cm in
diameter) was achieved through a nozzle of 6 mm diameter, located at the center of the …

The air temperature variation of a closed room, well insulated, during the initial time of
operation of air-conditioning systems up to temperature stabilization, is simulated by a two …
