The improvement of climatic comfort is crucial not only for passenger comfort but also for driving safety. Therefore, a better understanding on the flow characteristics of ventilation flow inside the passenger compartment is essential. Most of the previous studies investigated the ventilation flow using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations or scale-down water-model experiments. In this study, the ventilation flow inside the passenger compartment of a real commercial automobile was investigated using a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) velocity field measurement technique. Under real operating conditions, the velocity fields were measured at several vertical planes for several ventilation modes. The experimental data obtained from this study can be used to understand the detailed flow characteristics in the passenger compartment of a real car and to validate numerical predictions.

Objectives: The objective of this paper is to find flow and heat transfer characteristics numerically in boiler buildings for three different ventilation window configurations. Methods: Turbulent natural convection flow in boiler buildings with a constant heating wall temperature was analyzed numerically. Governing equations were solved with standard finite-volume method using the SIMPLE algorithm. Conclusions: Flow and heat transfer characteristics are found for three different ventilation types. In the lower area under furnace, velocity and temperature distributions show similar patterns among the three different ventilation types. In the upper area over furnace, however, air flow is well mixed with lower peak temperatures for types B and C, which have roof ventilation windows, compared to type A which has side wall louvers only. Also, type B, with a single large roof window, shows better ventilation effect than does type C with its distribution roof windows.

최근 경향은 터널연장이 점점 장대화되고 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 또한 경제적인 이유로 고속도로 터널의 제트팬 종류 환기방식에 대한 적용이 점차 증대되고 있다. 차량엔진의 성능이 향상됨에 따라 최적 환기방식을 결정하는 중요한 요소인 소요환기량(Qreq)은 결과적으로 줄어들고 있다. 소요환기량 특성도(Qreq contour map)는 터널연장, 종단경사 그리고 소요환기량 사이의 관계를 나타내는 그래프이다. 그리고 제트팬 환기방식이 가능한 터널제원을 평가하기 위해서는 소요환기량의 변화를 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 소요환기량 특성도를 이용하여 제트팬 환기방식의 가능 터널제원을 결정하는 그래프적 분석법에 관한 연구를 대상으로 하고 있다. 또한 국내 고속도로상의 지역별 교통량 구성비에 따른 분석도 연구대상으로 하고 있다.

In this study, the flow characteristics at the ventilation holes was analyzed by using numerical method when carbon composite brake disk was rotated at a constant speed. In order to ensure the validity of the analysis results, grid dependency test was performed by considering the accuracy and appropriateness, and 4mm mesh size was selected for decrease of the maximum error rate 63.6%. As a result, the outside air flows in the clearance between the disk and shaft in case of B model. whereas, the outside air flows in the clearance or the outlet of the ventilation holes in case of A and C models. And also average static pressure at the outlet was changed depending on shape of the ventilation holes and rotational speed of the disk in case of A and C models. Besides, in the B model, intake air according to the clearance goes with side surface of ventilation hole, and so increased by mean velocity of 4.64m/s and mean pressure of 0.58pa in the ventilation hole outlet, in case of disk rotational speed of 146.21rad/s.

This paper investigates the effects of outdoor pressure fluctuations on natural ventilation through an opening on a building envelope. The ventilation airflow rate depends on the magnitude and the period of the pressure fluctuations, the size of the opening relative to the space volume, and the resistance characteristics of the opening. Non-dimensional parameters have been derived, which determine indoor pressure responses due to outdoor pressure fluctuations. The flow regions are categorized into (1) synchronized region, (2) opening resistance region, and (3) transition region depending on the non-dimensional parameter derived. Pressure fluctuations and flow characteristics are investigated numerically using the 4th order Runge-Kutta method.

Purpose: TThe experiment was designed to compare the efficiency of ventilation between conventional BVM ventilation and a newly devised A-BVM ventilation method with Tidal volume, total ventilation rate, average Ventilation speed, and average Ventilation volume. Methods: 40 Paramedical students who agreed to participate in the study were analyzed. Values were measured using IMB PASS after 2 minutes of Brayden Pro manikin with BVM and A-BVM ventilation. The difference in general characteristics was assessed by t-test and ANOVA and the difference in ventilation methods was analyzed by IBM SPSS. Results: A significant difference was found between the two ventilation methods in terms of tidal volume (t=-11.203, p<.001), ventilation time (t=-3.834, p<.001), and optimum ventilation probability (t=10.770, p<.001). A-BVM ventilation method, rather than BVM ventilation method, showed a value close to the appropriate amount recommended by Korean Advanced Life Support (500~600mL) in tidal volume, and higher in optimum ventilation probability. Conclusion: We could identify the a better mode of ventilation. Further studies on the efficacy of existing BVM ventilation methods as compared to device augmented BVM ventilation methods should be carried out to ensure that adequate ventilation is available to patients in clinical practice.

In the present study, flow characteristics inside a road tunnel are simulated for the ventilation flows due to jet fan system and flows induces by the traffic. Traffic ventilation is numerically simulated by multiple reference frame. From the results of steady state simulation of tunnel ventilation, it is found that the proper ventilation is achieved by the designed jet fan system along with ventilating flow induced by the traffic. A transient simulation is also performed for the case of vehicle fire in the tunnel reversing the direction of rotation of some fans. The results suggest that the heat and smoke can be controlled by the proper changing of fan operation mode. The present results can be used to design proper ventilation system and effective smoke control system as well.

Advances in perinatal and pediatric intensive care and recent advances in mechanical ventilation during the last two decades have resulted in an exponential increase in the number of children undergoing home mechanical ventilation (HMV) treatment. Although its efficacy in chronic respiratory failure is well established, HMV in children is more complex than that in adults, and there are more considerations. This review outlines clinical considerations for HMV in children. The goal of HMV in children is not only to correct alveolar hypoventilation but also to maximize development as much as possible. The modes of ventilation and ventilator settings, including ventilation masks, tubing, circuits, humidification, and ventilator parameters, should be tailored to the patient's individual characteristics. To ensure effective HMV, education for the parent and caregiver is important. HMV continues to change the scope of treatment for chronic respiratory failure in children in that it decreases respiratory morbidity and prolongs life spans. Further studies on this topic with larger scale and systemic approach are required to ensure the better outcomes in this population.

An experimental study is performed on the flow characteristics of a swirl-jet diffuser for factory ventilation. Swirl number ranges from 0(nonswirl jet) to 0.6 when the angle of swirl vane is 60 degree. As swirl becomes strong, the maximum velocity in the plane perpendicular to jet axis decreases fast and the uniformity of velocity becomes good, particularly in the ventilated area. The similarity in velocity profiles has been found for axial velocity from even when swirl number equals 0.6. The flow characteristics of the swirl-jet which has the swirl number of 0.6 is thought to be the best among these three swirl numbers for factory ventilation. However, the pressure drop in the diffuser increases as the swirl becomes strong. This should be considered in the design of the total ventilation system including a duct system.

본 연구에서는 도로터널의 횡류환기 및 반횡류환기 방식의 설계 방안을 도출할 목적으로 수치해석적인 방법에 의해서 환기특성을 고찰하고 소요환기량과 환기 시스템 용량의 관계를 검토하였으며, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 급 배기 횡류환기방식에서 환기시스템의 급 배기풍량은 이론적으로 소요환기량과 자연환기량의 차가 되나, 해석결과에 의하면 환기시스템 용량은 소요환기량과 자연환기량의 차보다 약 10%정도 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 제트팬을 설치하여 종방향 풍속을 증가시키는 경우, 환기시스템의 급배기 풍량은 감소하나, 터널풍속이 증가할 수록 터널 내 농도가 감소하기 때문에 오염물질에 대한 배기효과가 감소하여, 횡류 환기시스템의 용량 감소효과는 감소하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 급기만 하는 반횡류식에서는 터널입구 풍향이 차량진행방향과 반대인 경우에는 환기시스템의 급기풍량은 소요환기량과 동일하나, 해석결과에서는 약 13.3% 이내의 범위에서 증가하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며, 터널입구 풍속이 음수인 상태에서는 제트팬 댓수를 증가하여 도 환기효과는 기대할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다.
