LoginA set of diagrams for estimating flow coefficients and exponents in the power law flow equation for cracks are presented.
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.
A new simple method is proposed here for the experimental singling out of the air flow patterns in a room.
Application of hot wirelfilm ariemometry in room air flows presents difficulties because: (1) the effect of natural convection due to the heated wire beconies significant for low air velocity measurements; (2) the angle sensitivity of a hot wire b
The paper presents an original computer code for the analysis of contaminant diffusion in rooms developed at the Politecnico di Torino and its experimental validation by means of a test facility located at the University of Basilicata (Potenza).
Reverberant sound excitation and the sound intensity technique have been used for the measurement of the sound transmission loss of narrow slits in rigid walls.
Mechanical systems which use common ducts for combined heating and ventilating functions are becoming popular in the Pacific Northwest (U.S.).
As part of the AIVC's technical programme, study has been performed on present and advanced ventilation systems.
Inter-zone convection affects the general movements of air in a building and must be evaluated for accurate thermal zones heat and mass balance.
The flow rate in thermal plumes are influenced by many factors. Influence by enclosing walls is one of them.
