Because of the relatively narrow space and high density distribution of the passengers, the bus interior environment deteriorates in summer. Natural ventilating introduces a fresh natural freeze, provides the bus interior with appropriate distribution of air supply temperature and velocity field. Making good use of natural ventilation is an operating strategy ideal for improving passengers’ satisfaction, which is considered as an environmental friendly and cost effective approach. Based on CFD numerical simulation, with a whole-domain approach, this paper predicts air flow and thermal comfort in naturally ventilated bus. The outside and inside airflow is modelled simultaneously and within the same computational domain. The thermal environment in different parts of the bus interior is compared. Different vehicle velocities and conditions of windows are taken into account, analysis are made regarding to the effect of both of them on the interior thermal comfort. The result shows, air disturbance at the bus rear parts are intenser than the other parts with better thermal satisfaction; the quality of air flow in different parts makes the temperature difference in bus achieve as high as 3°C; the use of roof openings distributes the temperature more evenly.

Search For Information

The use of protected agriculture structures in tropical and subtropical countries is the main alternative for intensification of agricultural production selected by producers. In general, in these regions, passive and plastic-covered structures predominate, with natural ventilation as the only method of climate control. This phenomenon has been widely studied in different types of structures using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Therefore, this review aimed to collect and analyze the publications generated in this field of knowledge between 2010 and 2020. The search for information included the main academic databases available on the web and the analysis was carried out using bibliometric techniques, from which it was possible to identify details inherent to the scientific production, such as countries of origin, main authors, journals, and citations. Likewise, a detailed breakdown of the relevant technical information of the three phases of numerical simulation, such as preprocessing, processing, and postprocessing, was carried out. A compilation of 118 papers published in 65 journals, written by 256 authors, originating from 24 countries was achieved, where it was evident that Mexico and Colombia were the countries with the highest scientific production in the last decade. These papers analyzed, together, a total of 17 different types of structures where polyethylene-covered greenhouses predominated, with steady state simulations, for daytime climate conditions and without the presence of crops. Within the current and future research trends, the predominance of studies analyzing passive climate control methods, new models of insect-proof mesh-house structures, and, finally, studies focused on the structural analysis of greenhouses was found.

Abstract The tumblehome hull adopts some novelty designs such as low-tumblehome freeboard and wave-piercing bow. The new form design makes the ship have many special hydrodynamic performances. Especially the green water of tumblehome hull is different from that of hulls with flare free board. Green water is a strong nonlinear phenomenon of ship-wave interaction, the variation of free surface of liquid is complicated, and there are still some difficulties to solve green water problems well with numerical simulation method. In this paper firstly the motion responses of the tumblehome hull was calculated based on 3D potential theory, and then the dam-break flow model was used to calculate green water height and pressure distribution. According to the result of numerical simulation, some typical working conditions are chosen for 3D CFD simulation using RANS method. The results of numerical simulation methods are compared with the experimental results measured in towing tank. The influence of different ship form parameters and wave parameters to the green water of tumblehome hull is analyzed, and some regularities of green water on tumblehome hull in regular waves are summarized.

The hydrodynamic characteristics of the vertical axis turbine were studied, and the calculation results were compared with experiments. The higher consistency proves the feasibility of the numerical simulation method proposed in this paper. Finally, the influence of inlet turbulence on numerical simulation was explored, and a set of effective CFD simulation strategies was concluded, which provided a valuable reference for future CFD simulation and research on vertical axis tidal turbines.

Leaf Distribution

The air flow and pollutant concentration fields in a street canyon affected by trees could affect the comfort and health of residents. At present, the description of the non-uniform/discontinuous distribution of leaves is difficult. In this study, the leaf distribution in the canopy was characterized by establishing non-continuous (uniform/random) algorithm based on a numerical simulation method, and the effects of canopy properties including, height, porosity and uniform/random leaf distribution, on the airflow and pollutant concentration fields in urban street canyons were investigated. The position of the tree canopy was found to directly affect the airflow field form and the air velocity distribution in the street canyon at low inflows. The average air velocity in the street canyon could be reduced significantly when the top of the tree canopy is near the top of the street canyon. The air velocity and pollutant concentration in the street canyon would vary only slightly due to the canopy porosity. Due to the increasing canopy porosity, the air velocity would increase, and the pollutant concentration would be reduced. The leaves are non-continuous and uniformly distributed at constant porosity, which does not significantly change the velocity distribution and pollutant concentration in the street canyon.
