Isothermal airflow characteristics in a ventilated room with a slot inlet opening.

Author(s) : JIN Y., OGILVIE J. R.

Summary

The effect of inlet configuration on room air movement was investigated in a full-scale model in a comprehensive experiment. Velocities in the occupied zone were correlated well with the inlet parameters as long as airflow stayed in the full rotary flow zone on the plan. The mean and turbulent fluctuations of flow velocity seem to be nearly proportional to the incoming air speed at the slot inlet and to the opening height raised to the 0.6 power. Good correlations were also found between the velocity in the occupied region and the inlet jet momentum number.
