Characterising natural ventilation through open windows in the presence of wind: a theoretical and experimental investigation into the interaction between window geometry and environmental forces, and its application to envelope flow models of natural ventilation

Natural ventilation systems utilise pressure differentials that arise from wind and buoyancy forces to drive air through buildings. Natural ventilation is typically described using envelope flow models. These are used to size window openings at the design stage, and to predict the annual dynamic the...
