Modelling of flow through spatially varying porous media with application to topology optimization
Rakotobe Michaël, Ramalingom Delphine, Cocquet Pierre-Henri +1
The objective of this study is to highlight the effect of porosity variation in a topology optimization process in the field of fluid dynamics. Usually a penalization term added to…
Impact of the atmospheric boundary layer profile on the ventilation of a cubic building with two large opposite openings
Alain Bastide, Franck Lucas, Harry Boyer
The aim of this paper is to show the influence of the atmospheric boundary layer profile on the distribution of velocity in a building having two large openings. The knowledge of t…
A Picard Newton method to solve non linear airflow networks
Harry Boyer, Alain Bastide, Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret +1
In detailled buiding simulation models, airflow modelling and solving are still open and crucial problems, specially in the case of open buildings as encountered in tropical climat…
Natural ventilation - A new method based on the Walton model applied to cross-ventilated buildings having two large external openings
Alain Bastide, Francis Allard, Harry Boyer
In order to provide comfort in a low energy consumption building, it is preferable to use natural ventilation rather than HVAC systems. To achieve this, engineers need tools that p…
A numerical approach to evaluating what percentage of a living space is well-ventilated, for the assessment of thermal comfort
Alain Bastide, Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret, François Garde +1
A bioclimatic approach to designing comfortable buildings in hot and humid tropical regions requires, firstly, some preliminary, important work on the building envelope to limit th…
A genetic algorithm applied to the validation of building thermal models
Alfred Jean Philippe Lauret, Harry Boyer, Carine Riviere +1
This paper presents the coupling of a building thermal simulation code with genetic algorithms (GAs). GAs are randomized search algorithms that are based on the mechanisms of natur…
