In computer simulations of buildings and other structures, in relation to HVAC and fire, it is fairly common to need to represent boundaries which are made up of double semi-transparent membranes. An obvious example is a double-glazed window.

To evaluate the property of cross ventilation quantitatively, it is important that the calculated air flow field is compared with measurement.
