  2. Low-Earth Orbit Flight Test of an Inflatable Decelerator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-Earth_Orbit_Flight...

    Starting in 2006 with the Program to Advance Inflatable Decelerators for Atmospheric Entry (PAIDAE), [6] HIADs have undergone a series of incremental development efforts including design and analysis, ground based materials testing, manufacturing, wind-tunnel testing and flight tests and demonstrations.

  3. CFD in buildings - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFD_in_buildings

    CFD plays an important role in building design, designing a thermally-conformable, healthy and energy-efficient building. CFD can examine the effectiveness and efficiency of various heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems by easily changing the type and location of different components, supply air conditions and system control ...

  4. Standard wind tunnel models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_wind_tunnel_models

    Results of wind tunnel tests of these models are generally published in the form of nondimensional aerodynamic coefficients (thus being made independent of model size) and made available to the wind-tunnel community, often in review reports containing inter-facility comparisons of data, [5] [8] [9] [10] discussing observed scatter of results ...

  5. Passive ventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_ventilation

    The following design guidelines are selected from the Whole Building Design Guide, a program of the National Institute of Building Sciences: [4] Maximize wind-induced ventilation by siting the ridge of a building perpendicular to the summer winds; Widths of naturally ventilated zone should be narrow (max 13.7 m [45 feet])

  6. Air Movement and Control Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Movement_and_Control...

    ANSI/AMCA Standard 210 - Laboratory Methods of Testing Fans for Certified Aerodynamic Performance Rating establishes uniform test methods for a laboratory test of a fan or other air moving device to determine its aerodynamic performance in terms of airflow rate, pressure developed, power consumption, air density, speed of rotation, and ...

  7. QBlade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QBlade

    The purpose of this software is the design and aerodynamic simulation of wind turbine blades. The integration in XFOIL allows for the user to rapidly design custom airfoils and compute their performance curves, Extrapolating the performance data to a range of 360° Angle of attack , and directly integrate them into a wind turbine rotor simulation.

  8. Whole Building Design Guide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_Building_Design_Guide

    The Whole Building Design Guide or WBDG is guidance in the United States, described by the Federal Energy Management Program as "a complete internet resource to a wide range of building-related design guidance, criteria and technology", and meets the requirements in guidance documents for Executive Order 13123. [1]

  9. Building performance simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_performance...

    Building performance simulation has various sub-domains; most prominent are thermal simulation, lighting simulation, acoustical simulation and air flow simulation. Most building performance simulation is based on the use of bespoke simulation software. Building performance simulation itself is a field within the wider realm of scientific computing.
