Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCharacterization of Frequency Mode inside an Open Cavity for Different Shape RatioHallek Khouloud, Mourad Bouterra, Afif El Cafsi et al.A number of studies have referred to the existence of a vortex cell within an urban street canyon. The understanding of vortex dynamics or vorticity distribution is a such configuration is of great interest. This configuration was simulated by the interaction between a boundary layer and a cavity. Experimental characterization of the vortex structures evolution was developed by the technique … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 6,846 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDevelopment of an Axisymmetric Thermal Plume between Vertical PlatesJamil Zinoubi, Adel Gammoudi, Taoufik Naffouti et al.This investigation analyses the turbulent structure of a thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving between vertical plates. The objective of the study was to understand the development mechanisms of this buoyancy driven flow. The analysis of the average and the fluctuating fields of the temperature as well as the flow visualisation show the existence of three different zones. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,041 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesStudy of the Flow Structure of A Thermal Plume Evolving in an Unlimited and in A Semi-Enclosed EnvironmentJamil Zinoubi, A. Ould Mohamed Mahmoud, Taoufik Naffouti et al.The basic objective of this study was to better knowledge the fine flow structure of thermal plume created by a heated disk, evolving in an unlimited and in a semi-enclosed environment. The flow visualization and the study of the temperature fluctuations spectrum show clearly a considerable change of the turbulent structure of the internal flow in comparison with the free … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,034 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThermal Performance of a Solar Heat Storage Accumulator Used For Greenhouses ConditioningMejdi Hazami, Sami Kooli, Meriam Lazaar et al.The use of solar energy for greenhouse heating has gained an increasing acceptance during the last years. Active solar systems applied to greenhouses can supply a significant part of the heating requirements. However, there are some problems related to the cost of the heat collection unit and the heat storage methods. In this context several techniques were born. The most … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,041 accessesView PDF Cite
