Single-sided natural ventilation

[Theloniousjump]

Hi,

Could you please describe (in as much detail as possible), how MacroFlo deals with a single sided ventilation situation.

I understand that MacroFlo operates by balancing net mass flows in and out of each opening, considering: wind, buoyancy and infiltration flows; though I'm not sure of the physics behind how it forces a mass balance though a single fenestration.

Any help or direction to further reading would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The best I can offer (and it usually answers most questions in my experience) would be the manuals. Open VE and go through Help >> User Guides then in the Thermal Section you'll find MacroFlo User Guide, MacroFlo Opening Types User Guide and I suspect what will be most useful to you under Reference we have MacroFlo Calculation Methods document (read this alongside the ApacheSim Calc Methods)
