  1. 11. CFD study of the different inlet configurations and airflows in a room with IJV

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

    Author : Christos Stiapis; [2022]
    Keywords : Ventilation; CFD; Impinging Jet Ventilation;

    Abstract : A method of providing ventilation using impinging jets (IJV) utilizes stratification while delivering air at a high velocity. As a result of this attribute and the simplicity of its terminal construction, IJV offers an advantage over the well-known Displacement Ventilation (DV) system. READ MORE

  3. 12. Improved side impact car safety : New IIHS side crash regulation, effect on product design

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för ekonomi, teknik, konst och samhälle

    Abstract : 23% of passenger vehicle occupant deaths in 2019 was side-impact collisions and is a ongoing problem that continues to take people’s lives (IIHS, 2021a). IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) is an organization based in USA, which performs vehicle crash tests with the goal of making cars safer and reducing deaths and injuries. READ MORE

  4. 13. Mescape - A probabilistic mesoscopic model for fire evacuation in large gatherings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lorenzo Contini; [2022]
    Keywords : Human behaviour; crowd evacuation; mesoscopic modelling; hydraulic model; large gatherings; fire safety; performance-based design; quantitative risk assessment; consequence analysis; uncertainty analysis; probabilistic modelling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This study presents a mesoscopic model that predicts pedestrian evacuation in large gatherings with probabilistic methods. The model is based on a coarse network representation of buildings, where occupants are treated at a different scale according to their location. READ MORE

  5. 14. PRESCRIPTIVE AND ACTUAL OCCUPANT LOAD OF BUSINESS PREMISES IN FINLAND BEFORE AND DURING COVID19

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

  6. 15. Verification Testing of Evacuationz, a Coarse Network Evacuation Model

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Antariksh Gupta; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e. READ MORE
