Effect of Opening Ratios with and Without Louvers in Cross Ventilation Using CFD

Investigation of varying louver angles and positions on cross ventilation in a generic isolated building using CFD simulation

“…Center-center louvers at 0 • exhibit an interesting characteristic where the reduction in effective opening area, A E increases the DFR instead of decreasing it. This has also been observed Moey et al (2021b); where the author's louver configuration at 0 • center-center location had a higher DFR than the center-center configuration without louvers and as well as by Zheng et al (2020).…”
