Heat losses through building walls with closed, open and deformable cavities.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This article reviews a recent body of work that documents the heat flow through walls with relatively complicated internal structure. It presents the fundamentals of natural convection heat transfer in two-dimensional enclosures filled with air. A study on heat transfer through a ventilated wall heated by solar radiation from the side is also described. A first-time review of new work on natural convection heat transfer across elongated vertical cavities with deformed side walls, e.g. air gaps in double-pane windows, is presented.
