Radiative sky cooling (RSC), acting as a passive cooling method, reduces the heat gain by
dissipating the excessive heat via reflective and radiative approaches. The heat sink of RSC …

Experimental investigations using wind and water tunnels have long been a staple in fluid
mechanics research. These experiments often choose a specific physical process to be …

Effectively alleviating the urban thermal environment is an important problem faced by
modern urban environment optimization. This paper predicts the land surface temperature …

Although wind-buoyancy interactions have been widely explored, their mixing associated
with semi-transparent facades are not yet clearly understood. This gap greatly restraints the …

Ventilation performance could influence thermal comfort and building energy. This study
aimed to investigate the ventilation efficiency enhanced by roof window and mechanical …

The use of natural ventilation in buildings can largely benefit the energy saving and indoor
air environment improvement. However, due to the lack of online high-precision …

We investigate and test the effectiveness of a novel window windcatcher device (WWC), as a
means of improving natural ventilation in buildings. Using ANSYS CFX, the performance of …

Window-windcatchers, a passive ventilation method, have been shown to improve
ventilation and enhance thermal comfort. Preliminary characterization of a novel window …

In recent years, there has been increased interest in natural ventilation solutions as a means
to achieve sustainable and energy-efficient building design. Windcatchers, ancient Middle …

Windcatchers provide effective low-energy ventilation and summer passive cooling in
temperate climates. However, their use in winter is limited due to significant ventilation heat …
