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

The values of maximum mean-velocity and half-widths of the axial velocity profile along the center-line of the jet are greater than those for a fully developed two-dimensional jet. Turbulence intensity in the axial direction is not affected by the flow rate ratio. At the same time, turbulence intensity in the lateral direction becomes greater as the hood is approached and the flow rate ratio Q3/Q1 becomes larger （QI is jet flow rate from nozzle and Q3 is suction flow rate produced by the hood）. These experimental results are in accord with the distributions of production terms in the axial and lateral directions. Reynolds shear stress becomes smaller as the flow rate ratio becomes larger near the hood. Dimensionless distance y1/br2, from the center axis of the flow to the point where intermittency factor y becomes a constant value, narrows as the flow rate ratio becomes larger near the hood.展开更多
