Abstract:In residential building design, areaway can act as an open subsurface space to help improve the living environment in adjacent basement by natural ventilation. To study this particular ventilation phenomenon mainly driven by wind force, the first part of this paper presents an investigation of flow field and pollution dispersion inside areaway space based on a wind tunnel experiment. In the experiment, the measurement of mean velocity, turbulence and concentration as well as the flow visualization were carried… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
