Three-dimensional simulation with a CFD tool of the airflow phenomena in single floor double-skin facade equipped with a venetian blind

Nowadays different kinds of double-skin facades are developed and used in new architectural projects. The aim of these facades is, on the one hand, to increase internal comfort and, on the other hand, to decrease energy consumption. In order to optimise the overall performance of the double-skin façades, their detailed behaviour needs to be better understood. The prediction of the airflow within the channel (between the two glazings) is very important for understanding of the double-skin facades behaviour, especially in summer conditions. A comprehensive modelling of a compact double-skin facade equipped with a venetian blind and forced ventilation is proposed here. The modelling is done using the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) approach to assess the air movement within the ventilated facade channel. Three-dimensional airflow is modelled using a homogeneous porous media representation, in order to reduce the size of the mathematical model. A parametric study is proposed here, analysing the impact of three parameters on the airflow development: slat tilt angle, blind position and air outlet position. The distance between the blind and the external glazing was found to have a major impact on the velocity profiles inside the double-skin facade channel.

基于多层次语义特征的建筑立面点云提取方法

建筑立面信息是指建筑物与外部空间接触面的空间分布及属性信息,如何从点云数据中提取建筑立面信息是点云数据处理中的热点和难点。为解决传统格网密度算法在建筑立面点云提取时评价标准单一、适应性不强的问题,综合分析建筑区各类典型地物点云的高程分布、投影密度、法向量分布等局部及整体空间特征,构建由点云单点语义、格网语义及区域语义组成的多层次语义特征描述子,在此基础上提出一种建筑立面点云提取方法,针对建筑立面点云在不同层次语义上的特点设置合理阈值,通过逐层筛选实现建筑立面点云的精确提取。试验结果表明：该算法能在低层、高层以及超高层建筑区等不同场景海量点云中快速准确地实现建筑立面点云提取,算法精度、效率、适应性良好。     

圆柱形建筑双幕墙结构的内部风效应

对圆柱形建筑双幕墙进行了多参数对比风洞试验,研究了圆弧双幕墙结构风致平均内压的空间分布特性,阐述了廊道内平均风压的分布机理,给出了风致平均内压的理论估算方法,并与试验结果进行对比,吻合较好.研究表明:圆弧型双幕墙在背风向时,廊道内的平均风压非常均匀,其风致平均内压的分布受外幕墙开孔率、廊道间距和来流风速的影响很小;而在迎风向和侧风向时,廊道内的平均风压分布不均匀,其风致平均内压的分布随开孔率和来流风速的增大、廊道间距的减小变得越来越不均匀.     

近景数码影像中墙面纹理自动拼接方法的研究

影像拼接是从近景数码影像中生成墙面纹理需要解决的问题。然而由于现有的拼接软件通常不适用于处理几何变形大的近景影像,但通过对从近景数码影像中自动拼接墙面纹理的方法进行的研究发现,在相机的位置离建筑物相对较远,且大致沿一条直线进行拍摄时,当原始影像预先纠正到同一个铅垂面上后,由于各影像之间的大小比例接近于1,因此对于此种情况的拼接而言,就只需要通过选取拼接点来确定相邻影像之间沿X轴和Y轴方向的平移量,即可实现拼接。然而对于比较狭窄的街道(如步行街)来说,则由于摄站与建筑物之间的距离比较小,使影像的倾角增大,导致影像的几何变形增大,所以不适于采用选取拼接点的方法进行拼接。针对此种情况的拼接,提出了一种类似于航带法生成正射影像的条带法,用来进行墙面纹理的自动拼接,并且结合影像间同名水平直线的约束和加密匹配同名点两种方法来对拼接结果进行优化。最后针对地面实拍的序列影像进行了实验。实验结果证明,该方法能够显著消除相邻影像间的几何差异,从而真正实现了影像的无缝拼接。

Improving strength,stiffness and ductility of CFDST columns by external confinement

Concrete-filled double-skin tubular (CFDST) column is one of the most efficient forms of column construction in which the steel tubes provides both axial strength and confining pressure to enhance the strength and ductility of the in-filled concrete. Compared with confined reinforced concrete columns, CFDST columns had stronger and more uniform confining pressure provided to the in-filled concrete by the steel tubes, which reduces the steel congestion problem for better concrete placing quality. However, a major shortcoming of the CFDST columns is the imperfect interface bonding that occurred at the elastic stage that reduces the elastic strength and stiffness of columns. To improve the situation, it is proposed in this study to use external steel rings to restrict the dilation of outer steel tube of CFDST columns. For verification, a series of uni-axial compression test was performed on some CFDST columns with external steel rings. From the results, it was found that the elastic strength, elastic stiffness and ductility were enhanced by installing the steel rings as external confinement. Lastly, a theoretical model for predicting the axial strength of confined CFDST columns has been developed.     

Experimental and numerical analysis of heat transfer and airflow on an interactive building facade

The envelope of a building is mainly responsible for its energy demand. Different kinds of double skin facades (DSFs) are nowadays used as a building envelope to reduce the energy demand and improve aesthetical view of buildings. Although DSF are already extensively used, their thermal performance is not well understood. This study presents a decoupling method capable to evaluate thermal performances and analyze fluid phenomena in a DSF. The solar radiation effects were evaluated with an analytical model and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were used to evaluate complex flow and thermal effect on a commercial DSF. With the decoupling approach to account for the effects of solar radiation and flow, the numerical results obtained by the CFD approach agree well with the experimental data collected on a full scale test room with a ventilated DSF. The method can be used to establish a database to develop a tool for DSF design.
