Because of the significant resistance effect and the energy consumption effect, increasing
attention has been paid to the local resistance represented by tees in ventilation and air …

The local components represented by the split-flow tee are essential parts of ventilation and
air conditioning systems in buildings. The structure of the split-flow tee has not changed in …

Plenum chambers are commonly used to provide flow homogenization in ventilation and air
conditioning systems. To reduce energy consumption and improve ventilation performance …

Laminarization is an important topic in heat transfer and turbulence modeling. Recent
studies have demonstrated that several well-known turbulence models failed to provide …

The results obtained from a priori channel-flow tests show that the dissipation terms of some
tested low-Reynolds-number models possess correct near-wall behaviors, whereas those …

This study presents a partially averaged Navier–Stokes model, MSST PANS, based on a
modified SST k− ω turbulence model to predict turbulent flows with large streamline …

Owing to the limited installation space and duct size, coupled fittings are common in the duct
systems of buildings. The coupling effect leads to changes in drag and fan energy …

The coupling effect of local components is common in buildings and results in energy loss
and local drag. This effect is significantly influenced by the shape and size of the …

Purpose–The aim of this paper is to study two-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow
and temperature fields inside the bend (turn) part of a U-duct. Design/methodology …

In this paper, a numerical study of turbulent flow over the S-shaped hydrofoil at 0° angle of
attack has been reported. Here, the flow takes place over concave and convex surfaces and …
