2. Prof. Lars Davidson

Research interests
"The general subject of my research is ComputationalFluid Dynamics (CFD). I am developing finite volume methods (FV), using both structured single- and multi-block technique, as well as unstructured finite volume methods. Recently we have started to work on Finite Element Methods (FEM) for turbulent flow. I am alsoworking on turbulence models, both development and application of turbulence models in recirculating flows -both incompressible and compressible. Currently, a large part of my research is focused on Large Eddy Simulations (LES). "

Research

"Based on approaching the building as an integration of energy systems, my research aims to reduce fuel and power consumption, and associated emissions, while ensuring a good indoor environment. Until now this work incorporated three main strands:

Although not working with CFD modelling, his work in Building Energy System is very inspiring. His web site also contains lots of tutorial materials about building energy simulation and the user guide of EPS-r software.

9. WILLIAM W. NAZAROFF, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of California

Research

Professor Nazaroff's research group aims to understand the physical and chemical processes that govern air pollutant concentrations and fates. The goal is to develop the information needed to assess and control human health effects from air pollutant exposures. Dr. Nazaroff's research is conducted through laboratory-scale experiments plus numerical and analytical modeling. The following topics are being addressed: (a) interactions between pollutants and surface materials; (b) airmovement and pollutant dispersion in indoor environments; and (c) characterization and control of air pollutant exposures. Dr. Nazaroff's students work closely with research staff of the Indoor Environment Department at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Mr. Emmerich is involved in research on indoor air quality, ventilation and energy consumption in commercial and residential
buildings. His work includes verifying the ability of multizone IAQ models to predict the performance of innovative residential
IAQ control equipment. His work also includes the combined application of multi-zone airflow models and building thermal
models to study the energy impacts of poor building airtightness and ventilation system control. His post work has included the
application of multizone IAQ models to study residential IAQ and the application of computational fluid dynamics to study
room air flow. Previously, as a research assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he applied building airflow and
thermal load models to evaluate the energy and indoor air quality impacts of demand controlled ventilation systems.

Research: An extensive effort is underway in modeling and controlling air-flow distribution within ventilated spaces. We are especially interested in the slot-ventilated enclosure, as it is the prototype for many mechanically ventilated agricultural buildings. On one level, the work entails computer modeling of air velocity and direction within a ventilated space. We are currently using the standard k-epsilon model of turbulence transport, and are developing modifications. On the second level, studies encompass the interactions of factors such as air-inlet placement, ventilation rate, enclosure geometry, and the microclimate needs of the biological system within the ventilated space. This relates primarily to control of the ventilation system, and ultimately will rely on results from the first level of research, for with adequate simulation models of air movement, ventilation-system designs can be optimized for local outdoor climate and indoor microclimates, making controlled-environment agriculture truly "controlled".
