Thermal performance analysis and optimization of air-supported membrane building envelope based on numerical simulation
Air-supported membrane (ASM) envelopes offer an effective solution for creating large interior spaces for buildings with lower energy consumption and carbon emissions. However, there is little research on the thermal performance of ASM envelopes, particularly regarding the natural convection within the air interlayer and its impact on thermal resistance. To address this gap, this study developed a numerical model of ASM envelopes and validated it through experiments. Subsequently, a numerical investigation was conducted to analyze natural convection and thermal resistance while considering factors such as indoor-outdoor temperature difference, membrane emissivity and air interlayer thickness. Results indicated that with the emissivity increased from 0.2 to 1, the thermal resistance of the air interlayer and the envelope decreased by 32.35 % and 9.13 %, respectively. Besides, the thickness of air interlayer also had evident effect on thermal resistance. When it increased from 5 mm to 35 mm, the thermal resistance of the air interlayer and the envelope increased by 156.19 % and 14.74 %, and further results in the heat transfer decreased by 13.85 %. However, the convective heat transfer would remain constant when the thickness exceeded 35 mm. This study provided valuable reference for optimizing the design of ASM envelopes and accurately calculating their thermal resistance.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
