Computational analysis of the performance of a venturi-shaped roof for natural ventilation: Venturi-effect versus wind-blocking effect KU Leuven
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to gain insight in the aerodynamic performance of a venturi-shaped roof (called VENTEC roof). The simulations are performed with the 3D steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the Renormalisation Group k-epsilon model. A detailed analysis is conducted of the influence of the so-called venturi-effect and the wind-blocking effect on the aerodynamic performance of the VENTEC roof. The ...
Computational fluid dynamics for non-experts: Development of a user-friendly CFD simulator (HNVR-SYS) for natural ventilation design applications KU Leuven
Measuring the ventilation rate is crucial to ensuring the control of thermal comfort, energy saving, and emission of pollutants in greenhouses and animal houses. This is more difficult in naturally ventilated (NV) buildings because of the dynamic and complex air flow patterns caused by wind and buoyancy effects. In this study, a user-friendly computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulator is developed to analyse internal airflow patterns and ...

Computational analysis of natural ventilation in a large semi-enclosed stadium KU Leuven
The last decades, newly built large sports stadia are also increasingly being used for other events such as concerts, conferences and other activities. An example of such a modern multifunctional stadium is the Amsterdam 'ArenA' in the Netherlands. This stadium is equipped with a roof that can be opened and closed depending on the weather conditions and the type of event. No HVAC systems are present to control the conditions of the relatively ...
Interspecific competition affects the expression of personality-traits in natural populations University of Antwerp
Competition between animal species can cause niche partitioning and shape an individual’s phenotype, including its behaviour. However, little is known about effects of interspecific competition on personality, the among-individual variation in behaviour that is consistent across different spatial and temporal contexts. We investigated whether alien grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) influenced the expression of personality traits in native ...
Tiny ci-SAR A/D Converter for Deep Neural Networks in Analog in-Memory Computation Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre
This paper presents a tiny charge injectionSuccessive Approximation (ci-SAR) A/D converter (ADC) to be integrated at the periphery of analog Matrix Vector Multiplication (MVM) accelerators for Deep Neural Network (DNN) inference. Derived from the ci-SAR ADC, this converter exploits a single charge injecting cell to minimize area and energy consumption. The ADC exhibits a signal-to-noise and distortion ratio of 30.5 dB, at 5 bits of nominal ...
