Article Citation - WoS: 40Citation - Scopus: 44Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Forced Convection in a Double Skin Façade by Using Nodal Network Approach for Istanbul(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) İnan, Tuğba; Başaran, TahsinIn this study, temperature distribution and heat transfer through the cavity of a double skin façade (DSF) was investigated in the laboratory environment and analyzed numerically by using nodal network approach. The verification of the nodal network method was conducted by using data from the steady-state experiments and the same method was applied for the climate of Istanbul, Turkey under unsteady outside boundary conditions. Furthermore, heat gain and loss values in DSF for January and July were calculated and compared with single skin façade (SSF) application for different directions of the façades. The results were given for a day and a working time period of the office buildings by using monthly average daily climate data. Distinction working hours were more convenient to investigate the energy performance of DSF because of solar radiation effect. Using DSF in all directions, the cooling loads decreased up to 26% comparing to the SSF. DSF system was disadvantageous comparing to the SSF for January. However, it was shown that the heated air in the cavity could be used for preheating process of air in a HVAC system for winter period.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 21Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Forced Convection in a Double Skin Façade(MDPI Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2017) İnan, Tuğba; Başaran, Tahsin; Erek, AytunçFlow and heat transfer of the air cavity between two glass façades designed in the box window type of double skin façade (DSF) was evaluated in a test room which was set up for measurements in the laboratory environment and analyzed under different working conditions by using a computational fluid dynamics tool. Using data from the experimental studies, the verification of the numerical studies was conducted and the air flow and heat transfer in the cavity between the two glass façades were examined numerically in detail. The depth to height of the cavity, the aspect ratio, was changed between 0.10 and 0.16, and was studied for three different flow velocities. Reynolds and average Nusselt numbers ranging from 28,000 to 56,500 and 134 to 272, respectively, were calculated and a non-dimensional correlation between Reynolds and Nusselt numbers was constructed to evaluate the heat transfer from the cavity (except inlet and outlet sections) air to the inside environment and it could be used the box window type of DSF applications having relatively short cavities.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 32Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Natural Convection in a Double Skin Facade(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) İnan, Tuğba; Başaran, Tahsin; Ezan, Mehmet AkifIn this study, airflow and heat transfer in a rectangular cavity that simulates a double skin facade and includes natural convection were examined numerically and experimentally. This cavity separates the exterior space and the thermally controlled interior space. The temperatures of the surfaces that interact with these spaces were determined experimentally, while the other surfaces were regarded as adiabatic. With these temperature values, the parameters of the numerical study were defined. After the validation of the numerical model was completed based on experimental studies in the literature, the results related to flow and heat transfer in the cavity were analyzed. The numerical model provided results that agree with the air temperature values found experimentally in the cavity. Accordingly, in natural convection, with Rayleigh numbers ranging from 8.59 ∗ 109 to 1.41 ∗ 1010 and the effect of buoyancy on the regions close to the surface, the increasing tendency of the average Nusselt number from 142.6 to 168.8 was shown. In addition, a correlation between the Rayleigh and Nusselt numbers for a cavity aspect ratio of 8.64 was constructed to evaluate the heat flux; this correlation was also shown graphically.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Experimental Investigation of the Pressure Loss Through a Double Skin Facade by Using Perforated Plates(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Başaran, Tahsin; İnan, TuğbaThe aim of this study is to analyze the effect of perforated elements on pressure drop in a double skin facade cavity. This cavity separates the exterior and interior space as thermally controllable. The temperatures of the surfaces facing cavity with exterior and interior spaces have been determined experimentally under different airflow conditions. Two distinct perforated plates having different circular hole dimensions are positioned in the double skin facade cavity in order to create a pressure drop in the cavity. Pressure drops and temperature distributions in the cavity have been examined based on experimental measurements. The results show the surface and air temperature distributions in the cavity, the pressure drops under three different air flow rates and two different perforated plates. The dependence of the dimensionless pressure drop coefficient, Euler versus Reynolds numbers is investigated experimentally for different geometric characteristic of the perforated plates. So, Eu numbers independency after 30,000 of the Re numbers approximately is shown graphically. Evaluating the pressure loss in the DSF's cavity under usage of different type of pressure drop elements is essential for ventilating the cavity and choosing the fan capacity in the DSF applications.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 9The Effect of Architectural Form on the Earthquake Behavior of Symmetric Rc Frame Systems(Techno Press, 2014) İnan, Tuğba; Korkmaz, Koray; Çağatay, İsmail HakkıIn this study, structural irregularities in plan, which has a considerable effect on earthquake behavior of buildings, have been investigated in detail based on Turkish Earthquake Code 2007. The study consists of six main parametric models and a total of 144 sub-models that are grouped based on RC structural systems such as frame, frame + rigid core, frame with shear wall, and frame with shear wall + rigid core. All models are designed to have both symmetrical plan geometry and regular rigidity distribution. Changes in the earthquake behavior of buildings were evaluated according to the number of storeys, number of axes and the configuration of structural elements. Many findings are obtained and assessed as a result of the analysis for each structural irregularity. The study shows that structural irregularities can be observed in completely symmetric buildings in terms of plan geometry and rigidity distribution.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11An Investigation on Plan Geometries of Rc Buildings: With or Without Projections in Plan(Techno Press, 2012) İnan, Tuğba; Korkmaz, Koray; Çağatay, İsmail HakkıThe interaction of plan geometry and structural configuration, a determinative factor in the earthquake behavior of buildings, has become a serious issue in the building industry in Turkey due to the poor seismic performance of R/C buildings during the latest earthquake. Consequently, designing new buildings without structural irregularities against earthquake loads is proving to be more significant. This study focuses on the effects of plan geometries on earthquake performances of buildings. In that respect, structural irregularities in the plan are investigated in detail based on the Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC 2007). The study is based on five main parametric models and a total of 40 sub-models that are grouped according to their plan geometries with excessive projections such as L-shaped, H-shaped, T-shaped and U-shaped models. In addition to these, a square model without any projections is also generated. All models are designed to have the same storey gross area but with different number of storeys. Changes in the earthquake behavior of buildings were evaluated according to the number of storeys, the projection ratios and the symmetry conditions of each model. The analysis of each structural irregularity resulted in many findings, which were then assessed. The study demonstrates that the square model delivers the best earthquake performance owing to its regular plan geometry.Article Citation - Scopus: 13An Investigation on Daylighting Performance in Educational Institutions(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2013) İnan, TuğbaPurpose: The purpose of this research is to investigate natural illumination properties of one of the classrooms in the School of Architecture at Izmir Institute of Technology, located in Turkey, which is the northern hemisphere. Design/methodology/approach: In this study, the definitions of the basic terms in daylighting, such as daylight factor, illuminance, glazing ratio, are given first. Then, a luxmeter and a lighting simulation software, Velux, are used in order to calculate variable lighting factors during daytime, at different storeys, at different directions, for the classes. Velux is a proprietary software and it enables natural lighting analysis practically. Findings: Chosen classrooms are examined regarding their having sufficient natural illumination. The height of windows from the floor is changed, and the resultant effects on natural lighting in the classrooms are determined by using the lighting simulation program, Velux. The study shows that daylight factor and illumination near the window decreases as the height of the window above the floor increases. However, the illumination increases away from the window, giving greater uniformity to the lighting. At the same time, the usable depth of the classroom increases. The tall and narrow windows bring the daylight near themselves. Social implications: Practical window design decisions can help architects to provide effective and healthy natural lighting for interiors. Originality/value: Adjustment of the dimensions of the windows is important in order to balance the energy consumption of buildings. This study investigates natural lighting depending on both experimental measurements and simulation software, Velux.Article Citation - Scopus: 9Evaluation of Structural Irregularities Based on Architectural Design Considerations in Turkey(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2011) İnan, Tuğba; Korkmaz, KorayPurpose: The purpose of this research is to show significant points which can be used in the architectural design process by investigating the basic principles of earthquake resistant design (ERD) in a deductive format and to contribute to the architectural perception in ERD. Design/methodology/approach: First, the structural irregularity types are examined depending on the rules defined in the Turkish Earthquake Code, 2007 (TEC). Then, architectural design failures related to earthquake resistance of buildings under earthquake loading are visualized and solution suggestions in literature are described in detail by supported drawings. Findings: The problems causing structural irregularities are investigated deeply with given solutions in literature. It is obtained that the significant factors affecting the earthquake performance of structures are: architectural form, structural configuration, slenderness ratio, the location and rate of floor openings, projection rates and symmetry, rigidity and strength differences between floors, short columns, pounding effect. Social implications - The practical design decision rules can contribute to the phenomena of earthquake resistant architectural design and can encourage adoption of these rules in building industry. Originality/value: This study aims to gain an understanding of the problems in projects in terms of structural irregularities, and then manage to solve the problems using problem-oriented approaches. The suggested solutions can be adopted and applied to future projects for designing earthquake resistant buildings.
