Measurements are made first in a full-scale room ventilated with a mixing ventilation, and later with a displacement ventilation. A new method to design mixing ventilation is established. A comparison shows the thermal comfort obtained with the two systems.

This paper presents the behaviour of a thermal plume combine with a forced ventilation. A method to locate the position of the thermocline in a ventilated room is shown. It also gives and compares the results obtained by means of a solutal simulation on an hydraulic model and from full-scale experiments in a climatic chamber.

This paper deals with low Reynolds number jets for personalised ventilation and the possibility to control them in order to obtain useful modifications of the flow field, it can be done by simply adding a ring-like perturbation in front of the jet itself.

Disturbances from the surroundind environment and boundary conditions can influence very much the flow pattern , particles concentration and temperature distribution in a room.This report confirms the importance of working with measurements and simulations in parallel. Simulations of indoor air quality need to be validated . Guidelines on how to combine results are discussed in the paper.

Experiments were carried out in a scaled test room equipped with 9 vortex inlets uniformly distributed, exhaust outlets near the floor and 64 mannequins to simulate cooling loads. The study describes the air flow pattern observed and the relationship between the air velocity and the cooling load per m2 for mixed flow.

The paper presents the results of the measurement of turbulence intensity in jets issued into enclosures of different size. The test results confirm the relation between the velocity distribution coefficient and turbulence parameters.

The paper presents the results of experimental tests : the enclosure size and background turbulence in the surroundings of the jet have an influence on the air velocity distribution in axisymmetric jets

Measurements and CFD simulations are compared for 4 different ventilation systems using the air change index and a new ventilation parameter. It is shown the advantage of impinging jets

Experioments has been conducted with a ice thermal storage and a ceiling plenum. This ductless air supply system can be an alternative to the use of chilled water tubes. This system supplies air to the ceiling plenum chamber by mixing return air and low temperature air.

In this paper, 2D - CFD calculations of the flow are carried out . Two different turbulence models were employed and the results compared. The differences between experiments and calculations are explained by introducing a topological apparatus
