Façade geometrical details can substantially influence the near-façade airflow patterns and pressures. This is especially case for building balconies as their presence lead to multiple separation recirculation areas near façades hence large changes in surface pressure distribution. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used investigate impact of balconies, mainly based on steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach. The objective present study evaluate performance...
The presence of building balconies can significantly modify the near-façade wind flow pattern and surface pressures. present study evaluates impact balcony geometry on mean speed spaces wind-induced pressure for generic high-rise buildings. focus is that extend along entire width façade. Large-eddy simulations (LES), validated with tunnel experiments, are conducted to investigate (i) or not, (ii) depth, (iii) parapet walls, (iv) partition (v) density balconies. results indicate greatly...
The present study investigates the impact of building façade geometrical details on pollutant transport mechanism in long street canyons. Large-eddy simulations (LES), extensively validated with experiments, are performed for four cases: (i) canyon without balconies, (ii) balconies at both windward and leeward façades, only (iv) façade. results show that can strongly affect wind flow field dispersion most significant is observed two cases façade, which obstruct airflow from penetrating deep...
This work develops a data analysis procedure, namely, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-dynamic mode (DMD) augmented analysis, to isolate the energy- and evolution-wise dominant features of flow field in street canyon. combination aims extract modes imposing critical influence on pollutant dispersion from both energetic dynamic perspectives. The two techniques were first conducted based large-eddy simulation results. Subsequently, POD DMD ranking, extracted classified into three types:...
Abstract This study was conducted to establish embryonic stem (ES) cell lines from porcine blastocysts. Blastocysts were collected China miniature pigs at day 7–9 of pregnancy. Embryos either directly (intact embryos) cultured on mitomysin C‐inactivated murine fibroblasts (MEF) as feeder layers, or used isolate the inner masses (ICM) by enzyme digestive method and then cultured. It found that could ICMs without any damages cells in all blastocysts (28). All attached layers. Primary colonies...
The thermal conductivity of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is predicted to increase with length, but this has never been proved experimentally because limitations in previous measurement methods. Here, the authors report length-dependent conductivities individual SWCNTs on a Si substrate using four-pad 3ω method. An length was observed at room temperature, which consistent theoretical prediction that considers higher order three-phonon processes. When are longer than phonon mean path,...
A new kind of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), named porous (P-MRE), was prepared by filling with NH4HCO3. Two groups samples different content NH4HCO3 and carbonyl iron particles were prepared. The microstructures the observed using a digital microscope, image analysis applied to analyze microstructure P-MRE. dynamic performance shear mode also investigated under magnetic flux densities. storage modulus, MR effect loss factor calculated mechanical property measurement system....
The discrepancy between authenticity regarding heritage conservation and perceived in tourism has been extensively discussed seen as an obstacle for sustainable management. In this article, we reviewed the notion of respectively tourism, interviewed 5 experts 363 tourists three cultural heritages Nanjing, China. Findings indicate that once visitors are fully aware essential nature, significance heritage, connotation conservation, they can assess values a given property intellectually from...
Pollutant dispersion in urban street canyons has been widely investigated by large-eddy simulation (LES). Many LES studies focused on generic under a wind direction perpendicular to the axis. Accurate simulations require sufficiently large domain size minimize effects of artificial boundary conditions at faces results. As opposed RANS simulations, there is lack guidelines for an appropriate flow and pollutant canyons. The present study systematically investigates effect width, height...
This article firstly emphasizes the perspective viewing public spaces as places where meaningful spatial quality, i.e., atmosphere, is generated through multi-sensory experiences, secondly proves that atmosphere has a positive direct impact on affective city image, also indirect behavioural intention, and finally proposes strategies of designing, managing representing architectures urban spaces, for image formulation communication. Nanjing, historical Chinese eager to re-image, chosen case...
Magnetorheological gel (MRG) is a new kind of MR material, and it can be regarded as the analogue fluid. In this study, MRG sample based on polyurethane matrix was fabricated. The normal force investigated by using an advanced commercial rheometer under rotational oscillatory shear modes. influence time history, strain amplitude, frequency, rate, temperature in presence variable constant magnetic field systematically studied. experimental results indicated that has greater impact MRG,...
