A CORRELATION FOR ESTIMATING WIND VENTILATION.

Author(s) : KRISHNAKUMAR C. K.

Summary

TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT USING MODELS OF FALLOUT SHELTERS TO DETERMINE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN SHELTER VENTILATION RATE, AREA AND DISTRIBUTION OF WALL OPENINGS, AND WIND SPEED AND ITS DIRECTION RELATIVE TO THE ORIENTATION OF THE SHELTER. MODELS OF BERMED SHELTERS WITH FIVE DIFFERENT OPENING CONFIGURATIONS WERE USED IN THESE TESTS. A SIMPLE CORRELATION WAS FORMULATED BETWEEN THE SHELTER VENTILATION RATE, THE TOTAL AREA OF WINDWARD OPENINGS, THE RATIO OF LEEWARD TO WINDWARD OPENING AREAS, AND THE VELOCITY OF THE APPROACH WIND.
