3803 -- Cross-Ventilation and Room Partitions: Wind Tunnel Experiments on Indoor Airflow Distribution PDF

Note the increasing demand for the proper use of natural ventilation to provide thermal comfort. Presents the results of wind tunnel experiments studying the effects of interior partitions on natural cross-ventilation by directly measuring air velocity and turbulence distributions inside a building model. Presents the results. States they demonstrate that internal partitions can significantly modify the effect of cross-ventilation and thermal comfort conditions.
