Wind Tunnel Modelling and Ventilation Design
Wind Tunnel Modelling and Ventilation Design Author:Phil Jones, Don Alexander Wind tunnels have been used for decades by structural engineers, but recently they are being used by architects to determine how wind conditions affect a naturally ventilated building's performance. These results can radically alter an architect's plans. 'Wind Tunnel Modelling and Ventilation Design' explains the theory involved in using wind tu... more »nnels and shows how they can help an architect with their design. The book includes studies of external wind-flow around buildings, pressure measurements of building facades, internal airflow and has links to numerical air-flow models. Ventilation design and design for external comfort have become increasingly important elements in sustainable design and this book provides the design professional and student with important detail and real world examples needed for research and design.« less
