The role of turbulent diffusion on thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Kaye, N., Flynn, M., Cook, M., & Ji, Y. (2010, May). The role of turbulent diffusion on thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings. Presented at The Fifth International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE2010), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

In recent years there has been considerable effort to develop simple models for wind and buoyancy induced natural ventilation in buildings that can be used to improve existing building thermal simulation tools. These models have been successful at pr... Read More about The role of turbulent diffusion on thermal comfort in naturally ventilated buildings.

The role of diffusion on the interface thickness in a ventilated filling box (2010)
Journal Article
Kaye, N., Flynn, M., Cook, M., & Ji, Y. (2010). The role of diffusion on the interface thickness in a ventilated filling box. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 652, 195-205. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112010000881

We examine the role of diffusivity, whether molecular or turbulent, on the steady-state stratification in a ventilated filling box. The buoyancy-driven displacement ventilation model of Linden et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 212, 1990, p. 309) predicts... Read More about The role of diffusion on the interface thickness in a ventilated filling box.
