Increased Natural Ventilation Flow Rates through Ventilation Shafts

Increased Natural Ventilation Flow Rates through Ventilation Shafts

Buoyancy-driven natural ventilation in ventilation shafts is investigated with a small scale physical experiment within a duct and CFD simulations of an office building. For a fixed exhaust opening, smaller shafts lead to higher flow rates in upper floors of a multi-storey building with a shared ven...
