Abstract
A wind driven ventilator is a simple, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly device that can improve comfort and the working environment. Unfortunately very little is known about the complex flow field associated with the operation of this device. A wind tunnel investigation of the flow associated with a rotating wind ventilator was, therefore, carried out at the aerodynamic laboratory of the University of New South Wales within the Reynolds number range of 1.1 times 105 to 5.5 times 105. An attempt was also made to study some of the important features associated with operation of a rotating wind ventilator using a simple model of a stationary and a spinning cylinder. The results were encouraging and several flow features were identified for future improvement in the performance of a wind ventilator.
