Abstract

It is known that discharge coefficients vary with wind direction and opening position. The local dynamic similarity model of cross-ventilation can select discharge coefficients on this basis. This paper summarizes previous studies on various inflow opening conditions, and describes new studies on outflow openings and the evaluation of ventilation flow rates in two zones based on coupled simulation of the local dynamic similarity model and a simple network model.

Key words:  discharge coefficient, local dynamic similarity model, wind-driven cross-ventilation, ventilation flow rate, inflow opening, outflow opening, network model.
