Airflow Characteristics and Pollution Distribution Around a Thermal Manikin--Impact of Specific Personal and Indoor Environmental Factors.

This study presents a summary of experimental measurements on the airflow characteristics and pollution distribution around a non-breathing thermal manikin. The two objectives are: (1) to examine the extent to which personal (body posture, clothing insulat ...

Estimating Non-Conductive Heat Flow Leading to Intra-Permafrost Talik Formation at the Ritigraben Rock Glacier (Western Swiss Alps)

Michael Lehning

Although non-conductive heat flow plays an important role in the evolution of rock glacier temperature and dynamics, few studies have quantified it. At the Ritigraben rock glacier (Switzerland), intra-permafrost talik formation was observed at around 12m d ...

Pull-out behavior of CFRP single-strap ground anchors

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Haifeng Fan

Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both the ground and air sides. On the gr ...

A new ring‐shaped wind tunnel facility to study wind‐packing of snow.

Michael Lehning, Christian Gabriel Sommer, Charles Fierz

A new wind tunnel was designed and built at SLF. The facility is ring-shaped to simulate an infinite fetch. This is important for experiments where the observed processes have a slow time scale (minutes to hours). The wind tunnel was developed to study the ...

Experimental distinction of damping mechanisms during hydraulic transients in pipe flow

Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, David Ferràs Segura

The aim of the present paper is to contribute to the identification of the principal mechanical- hydraulical relationships du ring hydraulic transients by means of the analysis of observed transient pressure and strain waves in different pipe rigs. Four di ...

Effect of deflector aerator on stepped spillway flow

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Stéphane Christian Olivier Terrier

Systematic physical model tests are performed on a stepped spillway equipped with a bottom aerator at the beginning of the stepped part. A deflector is used to issue a jet in order to initiate air entrainment into the flow. A horizontal slot located in the ...

Arbitraging Intraday Wholesale Energy Market Prices With Aggregations of Thermostatic Loads

Maryam Kamgarpour, John Lygeros

We investigate the potential for aggregations of residential thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as air conditioners, to arbitrage intraday wholesale electricity market prices via non-disruptive load control. We present two arbitrage approaches: ...

Performance of novel ventilation strategy for capturing CO2 with scheduled occupancy diversity and infiltration rate

Moon Keun Kim

This paper proposes a novel ventilation strategy for capturing CO2 with scheduled occupancy diversity, and changes in recirculating ratio and infiltration rate. While many publications have described filters and a lamp that can efficiently capture and remo ...

Building shape optimisation to reduce air-conditioning needs using constrained evolutionary algorithms

Gianpiero Caruso

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the optimal three-dimensional form of buildings that minimise energy consumption due to solar irradiation. We use an evolutionary algorithm (hybrid CMA-ES/HDE algorithm) already applied to maximise solar energy utili ...
