Laboratory modelling of natural ventilation flows driven by the combined forces of buoyancy and wind.

Author(s) : HUNT G. R., LINDEN P. F.

Summary

The paper describes an innovative experimental technique that accurately reproduces natural ventilation flows, driven by the combined effects of stack and wind, at small scale in laboratory models of rooms or buildings. This technique provides a powerful tool for examining the performance of naturally ventilated buildings at the design stage as it may be used to predict quantitatively ventilation flow rates and temperature stratification under a wide range of climatic conditions.
