A Study of Wind Patterns as a Function of Ventilator Geometry.

This paper investigates the effect of ventilator geometry on wind patterns within a model building. Computer based simulations were conducted with fixed parameters such as temperature, pressure, and room size. The ventilator position was varied, and the resulting wind speeds and wind patterns were measured for two inlet scenarios: inlet from window and inlet from the ventilator. These findings suggest that the optimal ventilator position depends on the desired airflow direction and the inlet location. When maximizing wind speed is the primary goal and air enters through the window, positioning the ventilator directly in line with the window is recommended. However, when the inlet is the ventilator itself, the position has less impact on wind speed, and other factors such as noise reduction or aesthetics may become more important considerations. Key findings from the simulations have been reported in this paper. Future research could explore the influence of additional factors such as building layout, and external wind conditions on airflow patterns within buildings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
