Computational fluid dynamics and energy modelling in buildings / Parham A. Mirzaei (2023)

Public ISBD Titre : Computational fluid dynamics and energy modelling in buildings : fundamentals and applications Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Parham A. Mirzaei, Auteur Editeur : New Jersey [États-Unis] : Wiley-Blackwell Année de publication : 2023 Importance : 606 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 25 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-119-74351-4 Note générale : Bibliogr. en fin de chaque capitre .- Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fluid mechanics -- Buildings Fluid mechanics -- Buildings -- Applications Thermodynamics -- Buildings -- Applacations Index. décimale : 532 Mécanique des fluides. Mécanique des liquides. Hydraulique. Hydromécanique. Résumé : In the first part of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Energy Modelling in Buildings: Fundamentals and Applications, the author explains the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, with a specific focus on their application in buildings. This background knowledge sets the scene to further model heat and mass transport in buildings, with explanations of commonly applied simplifications and assumptions. In the second part, the author elaborates how the fundamentals explained in part 1 can be used to model energy flow in buildings, which is the basis of all commercial and educational building energy simulation tools. An innovative illustrative nodal network concept is introduced to help readers comprehend the basics of conservation laws in buildings. The application of numerical techniques to form dynamic simulation tools are then introduced. In general, understanding these techniques will help readers to identify and justify their choices when working with building energy simulation tools, rather than using default settings. Detailed airflow information in buildings cannot be obtained in building energy simulation techniques. Therefore, part three is focused on introducing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as a detailed modelling technique for airflow in buildings. This part starts with an introduction to the fundamentals of the finite volume method used to solve the governing fluid equations and the related challenges and considerations are discussed. The last chapter of this part covers the solutions to some practical problems of airflow within and around buildings. The key aspect of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Energy Modelling in Buildings: Fundamentals and Applications is that it is tailored for audiences without extensive past experience of numerical methods. Undergraduate or graduate students in architecture, urban planning, geography, architectural engineering, and other engineering fields, along with building performance and simulation professionals, can use this book to gain additional clarity on the topics of building energy simulation and computational fluid dynamics. Note de contenu : Summary : 1. An overview of heat and mass transport in buildings 2. An overview on fundamentals of fluid mechanics in buildings 3. Applications of fluid mechanics in buildings 4. An overview on fundamentals of thermodynamics in buildings 5. Applications of thermodynamics in buildings ...

Bibliogr.- Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Earthquake resistant design Buildings--Earthquake effects Index. décimale : 624.131.55 Vibrations des terrains. Effets sismiques. Causes(naturelles et anthropiques). Effets Résumé : The book uses empirical evidence to describe the successes of earthquake engineering and disaster preparedness, as well as the failures that may have had tragic consequences. Readers will learn what makes buildings in earthquake zones vulnerable, what can be done to design, build and maintain those buildings to reduce or eliminate that vulnerability, and what can be done to protect building occupants. Those who are responsible for the lives and safety of building occupants and visitors—architects, designers, engineers, and building owners or managers—will learn how to provide adequate safety in earthquake zones. The text offers useful and accessible answers to anyone interested in natural disasters generally and those who have specific concerns about the impact of earthquakes on the built environment. Readers will benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to how buildings have behaved in earthquakes, including a description of the world's most lethal earthquakes and the fatality trend over timeAn exploration of how buildings are constructed around the world, including considerations of the impact of climate and seismicity on home designA discussion of what happens during an earthquake, including the types and levels of ground motion, landslides, tsunamis, and sequential effects, and how different types of buildings tend to behave in response to those phenomena.

It provides clear processes for selecting target journals and writing each section of a manuscript, starting with the results. The stepwise learning process uses practical exercises to develop writing and data presentation skills through analysis of well-written example papers. Strategies are presented for responding to referee comments, as well as ideas for developing discipline-specific English language skills for manuscript writing. The book is designed for use by individuals or in a class setting. Note de contenu : Summary : 1. A framework for success. How the book is organized 2. When and how to write each article section. Results as a "story": the key driver of an article 3. Getting your manuscript published. Considerations when selecting a target journal 4. Developing your publication skills further. Skill-development strategies for groups and individuals 5. Provided example articles. Provided example article 1: Kaiser et al.
