Managing airflow: Making small forces work for you.Understanding and managing the airflow around and through a space is important to enable designers to manipulate natural ventilation Natural ventilation is the process of supplying and removing air through an indoor space by natural means. There are two types of natural ventilation occurring in buildings: wind driven ventilation and stack ventilation. forces, minimize the energy used and noise created to distribute the air, and to control the visual impact of grilles and air inlets. RELATED ARTICLE: Olivier Theatre, Bedales School, Hampshire. The initial concept for naturally ventilating ventilating Natural or mechanically induced movement of fresh air into or through an enclosed space. The hazards of poor ventilation were not clearly understood until the early 20th century. Expired air may be laden with odors, heat, gases, or dust. the theatre was tested with a computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics The numerical approximation to the solution of mathematical models of fluid flow and heat transfer. Computational fluid dynamics is one of the tools (in addition to experimental and theoretical methods) available to solve computer model as part of the design process. Victoria Hall, Hanley, Stoke on Trent. The stalls and the balconies are served with separate air supplies, independently controlled, to meet the needs of each level. The air is supplied from the central plant into two builders work plena ple·na n. A plural of plenum. under the floor of the auditorium that connect to concentric riser ducts that take the air up to the balconies. The air from each side of the hall is introduced with sufficient velocity to achieve good mixing without causing noise or down-draughts when the jets from opposite sides meet.

The pool environment was kept separate from the rest of the corporate entrance fayerby means of a vertical air curtain from floor grilles surrounding the pool. Smoke is used at commissioning to show the airflow and demonstrate the theory. |
