Ventilation characteristics of buildings incorporating different configurations of curved roofs and wind catchers: (with reference to human comfort)

This study investigates the effect of utilising different configurations of curved roofs and wind catchers on natural ventilation performance of buildings. It compares airflow rates and internal airflow velocity and distribution, before and after, employing domed and vaulted roofs for wind-induced n...
