Topic: INVESTIGATION ON THE DYNAMIC ASPECT OF NATURAL AIR MOVEMENT BY USING SECONDARY DATA IN TRACY, CALIFORNIA
Abstract: The purpose of study is to investigate the dynamic characteristics of natural air flow in an outdoor area. This is due to growing environmental awareness and energy demand to the present day. Designers were using more practical and intuitive methods in finding solutions for indoor climatic control due to the energy crisis that become one of the crucial issues in the world. The study area is located in Tracy, California (Google.Org 2011). Objectives of the study are to investigate the similarities and the differences of wind profile and to describe methods to characteristic of natural and mechanical airflow in the terms of descriptive analysis, turbulence intensity and Weibull distribution using secondary data from Tracy, California.
