Emptying boxes-classifying transient natural ventilation flows

These findings are used by engineering consultants ARUP to size vents in low-energy buildings (Fluid Dynamics Leader, ID_in_audit_file@arup.co.uk) and by DSTL to extend their dispersion models to incorporate room stratification (Indoor Dispersion Team Principal Scientist, ID_in_audit_file@mail.dstl.gov.uk). The research, funded by ARUP, subsequently led to consultancy via DSTL, who hired co-author Coffey as a scientist, and to contracts funded by BP’s Advanced Energy Programme and the Grantham Institute (GI) – the GI funded PhD student P.M. Lynch was subsequently employed by the ARUP fluids team in 2011. Results form the basis for new lectures for the Architectural Association’s MPhil programme.
