ROOM FLOW TESTS IN A REDUCED SCALE.

Author(s) : MOOG W.

Summary

AFTER BASIC DEFINITIONS, AN EXPLANATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT AIR FLOW SYSTEMS ON THE STRUCTURE OF ROOM FLOW IS GIVEN. MEASUREMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS FOUND THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF THE FLOW TO BE EXTREMELY COMPLEX SO THAT A PRECISE MATHEMATICAL MODEL FORMATION SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. MEASUREMENTS ON ISOTHERMAL AND ANISOTHERMAL MODELS, REDUCED FROM THE ORIGINAL, SUPPLY RELIABLE DIMENSIONAL RESULTS. SIMILARITY-THEORETICAL STUDIES INDICATE THAT MODEL TESTS ARE PRINCIPALLY A USEFUL MEANS OF INCREASING THE DIMENSIONAL CERTAINTY, BUT IN ORDER TO EXACTLY REPRODUCE THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL ROOM FLOW, THE TEST IN THE SCALE 1: 1 REMAINS ESSENTIAL.
