Author(s) : GADILHE A. Y., FLEURY B. A.

Summary

MAJOR SOURCES OF FRESH AIR IN BUILDINGS ARE COMING FROM ON PURPOSE VENTILATION DESIGNS AND FROM INFILTRATION CRACKS IN STRUCTURE. AFTER AN ANALYSIS OF THE FLOW CHARACTERISTICS THROUGH TYPICAL CRACKS, THE AUTHORS PRESENT A REVIEW OF EXISTING WORKS. DEPENDENCE AND EFFECTS OF VARIABLES SUCH AS REYNOLDS NUMBER, THREE-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY, ROUGHNESS, SIDE EFFECTS AND DISCHARGE COEFFICIENT ARE TRIGGERED. CRACK FLOW EQUATIONS ARE COMPARED OVER THE 0-100 PASCAL RANGE. THE POWER LAW WITH A VARIABLE POWER IS MORE SUITABLE AT THE BUILDING PRESSURE DIFFERENCES.
