Guidelines to study numerically and experimentally reflective insulation systems as applied to buildings

A review on hybrid optimization algorithms to coalesce computational morphogenesis with interactive energy consumption forecasting

“…Every form is conceived on the basis of material choices while the thermophysical properties of these materials will play decisive role on the thermal behavior of the form as well as on thermal storage and load shifting of the future building. Thermal engineering research showed that safe sophisticated no toxic materials, with low energy content and low environmental impact is a very important question that should be investigated at an early design stage, since optimum utilization of such materials could significantly influence on the geometry of the envelope [27,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

Study of coupled transient radiation-natural convection heat transfer across rectangular cavities in the vicinity of low emissivity thin films for innovative building envelope applications

“…The study conducted in the framework of this research article is fruit of a general interest regarding the conception and development of original sophisticated enough innovative building envelope prototypes with a very high insulating performance [10], [11], [12], [13]. In the past, Multilayer Thermal Insulation for building applications has been studied in an exhaustive both experimentally and numerically manner.…”

“…and presented [12], [40], [41], [13], [42], [10]. This numerical model is accurate enough to simulate this kind of applications, however it was discovered that when we simulate more than 48 hours in a transient regime the model has the tendency to slightly overestimate transient heat transfer within the studied prototype.…”

Two Novel Two-Stage Direction of Arrival Estimation Algorithms for Two-Dimensional Mixed Noncircular and Circular Sources

“…However, for 2D situations, there are few research works for joint noncircular and circular signal direction finding. Additionally, much of the work in array processing has also been focused on optimization problems, such as genetic algorithms [ 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ].…”
