Analysis of single side ventilated and cross ventilated rooms by varying the width of the window opening using CFD

A computational study of bifunctional oxygen electrode in air-breathing reversible microfluidic fuel cells

“…However, as the mass transport is not the major potential loss for OER, weaker ambient mass transport does not show significant influences on the electrode performance in the EC mode. Noted that the air velocities in the surrounding environment of the oxygen electrode derived here from the quiescent case models are at the same magnitude or lower than the typical indoor air velocity in a ventilated room [43,44], which indicates that the air currents typical in indoor spaces might significantly alter the mass transport characteristics of the air-breathing RMFC. It is worthwhile to further investigate the performance of RMFC subject to the indoor air motion, which, however, is currently out of the scope of the present study.…”

Experimental study for wind pressure loss rate through exterior venetian blind in cross ventilation

“…From the efficiency aspect of natural ventilation, cross ventilation is a more effective natural ventilation method than single-sided ventilation [41]. This study was conducted to examine ventilation rate changes in the case of venetian blinds installed on the exterior of an opened window, with respect to cross ventilation.…”

Computational analysis of wind interactions for comparing different buildings sites in terms of natural ventilation

“…CFD has been widely used for simulation of wind and air movement in existing buildings. Literature is profuse in documents based on CFD direct application and experimental validation in order to design wind behaviour of NV in buildings [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Nevertheless, CFD has not been almost used in building early design stage, in which CFD can help building designer to achieve better and more detailed understanding of issues involving ventilation.…”
