In Mediterranean regions, characterized by a hot and humid climate during summer, the exposure of facades and the position of opening windows are important parameters to enhance passive cooling in the building using buoyancy-driven airflow.

Wind catchers are natural ventilation systems attached to buildings in order to ventilate the indoor air.
M. Hossein Ghadiri, N. Lukman, N. Ibrahim and Mohd Farid Mohamed
As a part of the development of a numerical method of close capture exhaust systems for machining devices, a test rig recreating a situation similar to a grinding operation, but in a perfectly controlled environment, was produced.
F. Tafnout, E. Belut, B. Oesterlé, A.T. Mikolajczak and J.R. Fontaine
On the basis of modelling with similarity theory and by using the Archimedes number, Ar, as the similitude parameter, this paper analyzes the air distribution of a busbar corridor in a hydropower station by using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PI

It is estimated that people in the developed world spend more than 85-90% of their time indoors. Of this, most is spent in homes. To minimize health risks from pollutants occurring in homes, exposures should be controlled.

The National Museum of Western Art is the only work of Le Corbusier in Japan and 50 years have already passed since its construction.
T. Kurabuchi, T. Ogasawara, H. Ochiai and S. Lee
The rate of ventilation in buildings is regulated in most European countries to provide a sufficient exchange of clean air to maintain and ensure the health and comfort of building occupants.
Arja Asikainen, Otto Hänninen, Nejc Brelih, Wolfgang Bischof, Thomas Hartmann, Paolo Carrer and Pawel Wargocki
INRS has evaluated the performance of fume extraction systems on road pavement asphalt pavers over a two year period between 2009 and 2011.
F. Bonthoux and C. Patrascu
Open fronted ventilated enclosures are commonly used in industry to control worker exposure to a wide range of chemicals.
C. J. Saunders and S. Bennett
Air handling units are used to provide a mixture of fresh and recycled (recirculated) air to buildings.
A. Ginestet, D. Pugnet, A. Tissot and M. Henninot
The aim of this study was to develop a simplified CFD model for the inlet jet of a swirl diffuser for the simulation of room airflow patterns.
H. Koskela and H. Maula
Industrial buildings, as in the nuclear industry, are equipped with ventilation systems, the main role of which is to ensure pollutant containment inside the facility during normal, damaged or accidental situations.
N. Le Roux, X. Faure, C. Inard, S. Soares and L. Ricciardi
A pilot survey was undertaken from September 2009 to June 2011 in 310 schools and day-care centres distributed in all regions of France including overseas departments.
O. Ramalho, C. Mandin, J. Ribéron and G. Wyart
A quadrature method of moments, based on the population balance approach, was chosen to model nanoparticle coagulation and transport.
R. Guichard, A. Tanière, E. Belut and N. Rimbert
The use of supply jet flows is the most common type of air distribution for general ventilation. Usually the supply flow rate is constant or slowly varying (VAV-systems) to cope with a varying load.
