Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
This chapter attempts to scan various wind aerodynamic responses relevant to buildings that could be utilised for wind energy generation. It highlights some natural ventilation mechanisms and processes that allow continuous air streams amenable to further streamlining for wind energy generation. This study analyses various types of flows and their characteristics. Further streamlining of architectural forms to generate optimal wind flows prior to energy harvesting is discussed.
Keywords:
Aerodynamic architectural design, Aerofoils, Aerofoil optimisation, Bernoulli effect, Venturi effect, Wind flow types.
