Turbulence modelling using 3DVAR data assimilation in laboratory conditions
(2013)
The viability of turbulence parameter estimation in a numerical model using 3DVAR data assimilation technique is explored in this research. Water currents measured in a physical model are assimilated into the numerical ...

Validated CFD study of indoor environmental conditions in a highly-glazed, cross-ventilated meeting room
(2013)
This paper investigates the
environmental conditions inside a highly-glazed cross-ventilated meeting room.
A 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of an indoor environment is
developed with the support of the field ...
Evaluation of various turbulence models to predict indoor conditions in a naturally ventilated room
(2013)
In recent years, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has
become a popular tool in building simulation. However, developing reliable CFD
models requires a high level of expertise in fluid dynamics and numerical
techniques. ...
Liquid phase optimisation in a horizontal flow biofilm reactor (HFBR) technology for the removal of methane at low temperatures.
(2013-03)
In this study, methods of improving the methane oxidation performance of a biofilm technology, the horizontal flow biofilm reactor (HFBR), operated at low temperatures were investigated. Three pilot scale HFBRs were ...
Integration of fault detection and diagnosis with energy management standard ISO 50001 and operations and maintenance of HVAC systems
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2013-06-16)
Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) has become a robust scientific field offering proven methods for the optimization and more effective operation of HVAC systems. However, FDD practical application faces ...
A SWOT framework to investigate the integration between building management systems and fault detection and diagnosis tools
(National University of Ireland Galway, 2013-07-01)
This paper presents a research work carried out under the umbrella of the CASCADE project, which is a European FP7 research project which is developing facility-specific measurement-based energy action plans for the airport ...
Reduced order modelling of the thermal behaviour of an office space
(Infoscience EPFL Scientific Publications, 2013-09-04)
Reduced Order Models (ROMs) have proven to be a valid and efficient approach to model the thermal behaviour of building zones. The main issues associated with the use of zonal/lumped models are how to (1) divide the domain ...
