LoginIn the field of ventilation engineering the understanding of jet types of flow is well established. However, the behaviour of buoyant flows with high initial Archimedes numbers has been much less explored.
Bibliographic database Airbase
AIRBASE is the Bibliographic Database of the AIVC. It contains publications and abstracts of articles related to energy efficient ventilation. Where possible, sufficient detail is supplied in the bibliographic details for users to trace and order the material via their own libraries. Topics include: ventilation strategies, design and retrofit methods, calculation techniques, standards and regulations, measurement methods, indoor air quality and energy implications etc. Entries are based on articles and reports published in journals, internal publications and research reports, produced both by university departments and by building research institutions throughout the world. AIRBASE has grown and evolved over many years (1979 to present day, over 22000 references and 16000 documents available online). For most of the references, the full document is also available online.
The AIVC website includes a protected content feature that provides access to AIRBASE. Access to the protected content is free of charge but requires you to register first.
One method of evaluating interzone airflow rates makes use of perfluorocarbon tracers (PFTs)(4).
The purpose of the proposed task is to create databases for validation on several different buildings. Data are needed as inputs for simulation programs (e.g.
Mechanical equipment may influence the airflow between rooms in a number of ways: 1) There is the direct airflow through ducts using supplies and returns. This approach may be just a single pass system where supply air enters and exhaust leave
