TY - JOUR A1 - Becher, Lia A1 - Völker, Conrad A1 - Rodehorst, Volker A1 - Kuhne, Michael T1 - Background-oriented schlieren technique for two-dimensional visualization of convective indoor air flows JF - Optics and Lasers in Engineering N2 - This article focuses on further developments of the background-oriented schlieren (BOS) technique to visualize convective indoor air flow, which is usually defined by very small density gradients. Since the light rays deflect when passing through fluids with different densities, BOS can detect the resulting refractive index gradients as integration along a line of sight. In this paper, the BOS technique is used to yield a two-dimensional visualization of small density gradients. The novelty of the described method is the implementation of a highly sensitive BOS setup to visualize the ascending thermal plume from a heated thermal manikin with temperature differences of minimum 1 K. To guarantee steady boundary conditions, the thermal manikin was seated in a climate laboratory. For the experimental investigations, a high-resolution DLSR camera was used capturing a large field of view with sufficient detail accuracy. Several parameters such as various backgrounds, focal lengths, room air temperatures, and distances between the object of investigation, camera, and structured background were tested to find the most suitable parameters to visualize convective indoor air flow. Besides these measurements, this paper presents the analyzing method using cross-correlation algorithms and finally the results of visualizing the convective indoor air flow with BOS. The highly sensitive BOS setup presented in this article complements the commonly used invasive methods that highly influence weak air flows.

T1 - Fibre Optic Sensors for the Structural Health Monitoring of Building Structures JF - Procedia Technology 26 N2 - In this work different fibre optic sensors for the structural health monitoring of civil engineering structures are reported. A fibre optic crack sensor and two different fibre optic moisture sensors have been designed to detect the moisture ingress in concrete based building structures. Moreover, the degeneration of the mechanical properties of optical glass fibre sensors and hence their long-term stability and reliability due to the mechanical and chemical impact of the concrete environment is discussed as well as the advantage of applying a fibre optic sensor system for the structural health monitoring of sewerage tunnels is demonstrated.

Mit Hilfe numerischer Strömungssimulation werden Verglasungen systematisch hinsichtlich der Füllgasart, der Infrarotverspiegelung, der Einbaulage und des Scheibenabstandes sowie der Anzahl der Gaszwischenräume (Zwei-, Drei- und Vierscheiben-Verglasung) untersucht und verglichen. Die Abhängigkeit des k-Wertes von den Temperaturen der angrenzenden Klimate (Atmosphäre und Innenraum) wird dargestellt. N2 - The aim of this work is to calculate the heat losses of thermal glazings. Conduction, radiation and convection are described in detail. Both analytical and numerical approaches are presented. Using a program for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) thermal glazings are investigated systematically. The influence of IR-reflecting coatings, kind of gas-filling, pane distance and number of panes is studied. Furthermore a dependence of the u-value on the temperature difference between room and atmosphere is described for certain gas-fillings.
