Reduced-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry Measurements and Validation of Steady RANS for Air-Curtain Flows in Buildings KU Leuven
Air infiltration and exfiltration that occur at open building entrances are of concern as these have been repeatedly associated with increased energy demand in buildings. Therefore, air curtains are often used to restrict air infiltration/exfiltration through busy building entrances, thereby limiting the exchange of heat and mass between indoor and outdoor environments. Air curtains are fundamentally turbulent plane impinging jets (TPIJs). This ...
Impact of morphological parameters on urban ventilation in compact cities: The case of the Tuscolano-Don Bosco district in Rome KU Leuven
Air pollution and heat stress are major concerns associated with the liveability, resilience and sustainability of cities. They directly affect health and comfort and are associated with augmented morbidity and mortality and an increase in the energy demand for building ventilation, air cleaning and cooling. Nevertheless, the detrimental effects of poor air quality may partly be mitigated by increased urban ventilation. This strategy is closely ...
