Abstract

âº A methodology has been developed to study steady and transient isothermal flows. âº Many reversal leakage flow rates have been identified depending on wind conditions. âº Wind effects can lead to the loss of the pollutant containment inside buildings. âº The SYLVIA code has been validated for taking into account steady wind effects.
