Flow visualization, PIV measurement and CFD calculation for fluid-driven natural cross-ventilation in a scale model

Displacement Measurement in Sawn Wood and Wood Panel Beams Using Particle Image Velocimetry

“…This is an optical technique that generates results from sequential image analysis. The PIV technique was originally used in the field of fluids and gases (Bangalee et al, 2013;Xu et al, 2017) and in recent years it has also been applied to measurements of solid bodies (Baba and Peth, 2012;Braga Jr. et al, 2015;Magalhães et al, 2015;Pereira, 2014;Souza et al, 2014;Pereira et al, 2018).…”

Experimental study on natural ventilation of a room with a windward window and different windexchangers

“…Among them are windows and openings [16,17,18], atriums and courtyards [19], monitor roofs [15], wind towers [20], windcatchers [21,22,23,1,24,25,26,27,28,29,30], chimneys and solar chimneys [31]. The last four systems are similar, in that they consist of a vertical duct with or without partitions through which air enters or exits the building.…”

“…The air flow inside a room can be increased with the use of cross-flow ventilation, especially that produced by two openings on opposite walls [16,17,18]. Most of the dwellings that are being constructed in Mexico are one or two floors, with only one opening per room.…”

Attic baffle size and vent configuration impacts on attic ventilation

“…The developed CFD ventilation models can be validated in laboratory tests [10, 11 12 M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 3 and 13], field measurements [14] and sometimes with ventilation mathematical models in the absence of experimental testing facilities [15].…”
