ShareCFD modelling of air flow and thermal performance of an atrium integrated with photovoltaics.
Author(s) : GAN G., RIFFAT S. B.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The article reports on the thermal performance of an atrium integrated with photovoltaic modules. It states that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied to the prediction of air flow and temperature distribution in the atrium. CFD was then used to investigate the effect of ventilation strategies on the performance of PV arrays.
