This study investigates the unsteady natural convection and entropy generation under effects of magnetic field baffles inside a nanofluid filled E-shaped enclosure. The flow is driven by time-varying sidewall temperature partitioned baffles. Multiple factors are discussed, including enclosure aspect ratio (0.2 ≤ AR 0.7), volume fractions (0 ϕ 0.1), Hartmann numbers Ha 80), frequency side wall (0.01 ω baffle locations d 0.4) length l 0.4). An economic analysis conducted to show cost enhancing...
Turbulent boundary layer inflow is a critical factor in urban climate research, shaping canyon flow dynamics, air ventilation patterns, and heat flux distribution. In numerical simulation studies, it serves as fundamental condition, profoundly influencing overall results. this study, simultaneous Particle Image Velocimetry Laser-Induced Fluorescence (PIV-LIF) measurements are utilized within large closed-circuit water tunnel. This approach allows comprehensive data to be gathered under...
Heat removal from street canyons to the urban boundary layer above buildings is one of physical processes that may largely determine (local) heat island (UHI) effects. Only few studies show impact a buoyant approaching flow on removal. In this study, we enhanced when more as induced by upwind convective heating heated ground surface. For purpose, perform simultaneous velocity and temperature field measurements in an atmospheric water tunnel using particle image velocimetry (PIV)...
Urban areas are known for their complex atmospheric environments, with the building morphology having a significant impact on local climate patterns, air quality, and overall urban microclimate. Understanding heat transport fluid flow in environments is crucial improving resilience, which remains an open frontier field of studies. To gain more profound insight into physical processes occurring areas, particularly within street canyons, we conducted experimental investigation large-scale...
The opening location plays an important role of buildings' environment and natural ventilation effectiveness. Present research investigated three categories configurations: single-sided with on the windward wall; leeward wall cross two openings. velocity distribution pressure as well coefficient are presented to analyze representative fluid dynamic characteristics these configurations. Numerical results indicate that could achieve best performance, situation for is better than wall....
