Eight drag coefficient schemes were assessed. These parametrizations were compared taking into account data from in situ and laboratory observations.The drag coefficients determined using three schemes were consistent with the level-off phenomenon, supported by the results of laboratory studies. The drag coefficient determined using one scheme decreased at wind speeds higher than approximately 30 m s-1, in agreement with indirect measurements under typhoon conditions. In contrast, the drag coefficients determined using the other four schemes increased with wind speed, even under high wind regimes. Sensitivity tests were performed using simulations of two super typhoons in the Weather Research and Forecasting model. While the typhoon tracks were negligibly sensitive to the parametrization used, the typhoon intensities （the maximum lO-m wind speed and the minimum sea level pressure）, sizes, and structure, were very sensitive to it.展开更多

Testing MOs and standard orifice plates （ SO ） were designed for the throttling experiment to compare the throttling effect using the equivalent diameter ratio （RED） and diameter ratio （RD ） as key parameters, respectively. Meanwhile, effective metrical conditions were provided for experimental accuracy. The throttling model form was determined according to the theoretical throttling model of SO. Then the unknown parameters involved were identified by experimental data. A good concordance between the modeling computation and experimental results shows a validation of the MO throtting model.展开更多

Firstly, Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between meteorological parameters and mixing layer height during 2005-2009 in Changsha, China. Secondly, the multi-linear regression model between daytime and nighttime was adopted to predict the temporal ventilation coefficient. Thirdly, the validation of the model between the predicted and observed ventilation coefficient in 2010 was conducted. The results showed that ventilation coefficient significantly varied and remained high during daytime, while it stayed relatively constant and low during nighttime. In addition, the diurnal ventilation coefficient was distinctly negatively correlated with PM10 (particle with the diameter less than 10 μm) concentration in Changsha, China. The predicted ventilation coefficient agreed well with the observed values based on the multi-linear regression models during daytime and nighttime. The urban temporal ventilation coefficient could be accurately predicted by some simple meteorological parameters during daytime and nighttime. The ventilation coefficient played an important role in the PM10 concentration level.展开更多

In windy and snowy climates dispersed snow particles in ambient air can enter the intake duct, potentially causing a serious problem. The study addresses the influence of suction volumetric flow rates, the potential discrepancy of snow intake based upon the wind direction in relation to the intake vent, and the possible difference in amounts of infiltrated snow particles in varying intake vent design and locations. The necessary characteristic quantities are defined. The simulation results show the rate of infiltration and the efficiency of the chosen intake designs. The magnitude and direction of wind influences snow infiltration significantly. The daily amount of infiltrated snow is introduced to be the characteristic measure of the infiltration in design of the HVAC systems.展开更多
