Abstract:Stochastic versions of a classical model for natural ventilation are proposed and investigated to demonstrate the effect of random fluctuations on stability and predictability. In a stochastic context, the well-known deterministic result that ventilation driven by the competing effects of buoyancy and wind admits multiple steady states can be misleading. With fluctuations in the buoyancy exchanged with an external environment modelled as a Wiener process, such systems tend to reside in the vicinity of global m… Show more
