Abstract

Earth is the only known planet with plate tectonics, which involves a mobile upper thermal boundary layer. Other terrestrial planets show a one-plate immobile lithosphere, or stagnant lid, that insulates and isolates their interior. Here, we first review the different types of lids that can develop on rocky and icy bodies. As they formed by accretion, involving high-energy impacts, terrestrial planets likely started hot and molten. We examine the process of lid initiation from a magma ocean stage and develop the equations for lid growth. We survey how lateral perturbations in lid and crust thickness can be amplified during their growth and finally discuss the possible processes at the origin of lid rupture and plate generation.

地球是已知唯一存在板块构造的行星,其特征是具有一个可移动的上部热边界层。其他类地行星则表现为单板块不可移动的岩石圈,即”停滞盖层”,该盖层将其内部与外界隔绝并保温。本文首先综述了可在岩石和冰质天体上发育的不同类型盖层。由于行星通过吸积形成,涉及高能撞击事件,类地行星很可能以高温熔融状态起始。我们研究了从岩浆海洋阶段开始的盖层启动过程,并推导了盖层生长的方程。我们考察了盖层和地壳厚度中的横向扰动如何在生长过程中被放大,最后讨论了盖层破裂和板块生成的可能过程。

Abstract

Electromagnetically forced flows in shallow electrolyte layers offer a versatile and nonintrusive method for exploring quasi-two-dimensional fluid dynamics. This review focuses on the experimental and theoretical aspects of such flows driven by Lorentz forces generated by the interaction of injected electric currents and the applied magnetic fields. The method is applicable to both liquid metals and electrolytes, with the latter more commonly used due to their wide availability and ease of handling. Experimental aspects of the method and key components of mathematical flow analysis are discussed. Initially developed for geophysical flow modeling, the method has been instrumental in exploring various other physical phenomena including vortex and wake dynamics, spatiotemporal chaos, and mixing processes. The review also addresses the challenges of achieving true two-dimensionality in laboratory settings and discusses the influence of various parameters, such as layer thickness and forcing intensity, on the flow behavior. Future research directions in the field are highlighted.

Abstract

Sand dunes cover 5% of Earth’s land surface, and they abundantly populate river bottoms and seabeds. The subtle dynamical interplay between the granular matter and the overlaying fluid leads to rich phenomenology at different scales, from colliding grains through migrating sand dunes to slowly evolving dune fields. In this review, we survey recent developments in the literature on the dynamics of sand dunes and focus in particular on the physics and mathematics. Our discussion is organized around four central paradigms of the field: flat bed instability, single dune migration, dune–dune interactions, and dune field statistics. Besides discussing the key scientific advances, we also highlight the methodological advances in observations, experiments, and simulations that facilitated them. We conclude our review by discussing the social implications of dune dynamics, such as the interaction between dune and infrastructure, and we offer speculation on what research topics related to sand dunes might become important in the next decade.

沙丘覆盖了地球陆地表面的5%,并大量分布于河床和海底。颗粒物质与上覆流体之间微妙的动力学相互作用导致了不同尺度上的丰富现象,从颗粒碰撞到迁移的沙丘,再到缓慢演化的沙丘场。本综述回顾了沙丘动力学文献的最新进展,特别关注物理和数学方面。我们的讨论围绕该领域的四个核心范式展开:平坦床面不稳定性、单个沙丘迁移、沙丘间的相互作用以及沙丘场统计。除了讨论关键的科学进展外,我们还强调了促成这些进展的观测、实验和模拟方面的方法论进步。最后,我们讨论了沙丘动力学的社会影响(如沙丘与基础设施之间的相互作用),并对未来十年沙丘相关研究的重要方向进行了展望。

Abstract

Droplets, which are ubiquitous in nature, are formed through intriguing processes, and one such route is air-assisted atomization or aerobreakup. This review focuses on secondary atomization, particularly the breakup of an individual droplet subjected to high-speed flows. This process involves complex interfacial dynamics with multiscale deformations, ranging from global flattening to local unstable waves. The deformations occur at progressively smaller scales while interacting with the surrounding gas phase, forming a nonlinear cascade. Each local undulation serves as a precursor to a self-similar evolution or subsecondary breakup process that ends with a ligament-mediated mechanism. In practical scenarios, droplets often encounter nonuniform, unsteady, impulsive, or compressible flows, like shock waves, which pose extreme conditions. The spatiotemporal scales of the nonuniformity or unsteadiness of the external flow must be comparable with the drop deformation scales at either global or local levels to influence aerobreakup that cascades across hierarchical deformation scales. The compressible effects at high Mach numbers are interestingly shown to suppress the tendency toward breakup.

摘要(中文)

液滴在自然界中无处不在,通过多种有趣的过程形成,其中一种途径是气体辅助雾化或气动破碎。本综述聚焦于二次雾化,特别是单个液滴在高速气流作用下的破碎过程。该过程涉及复杂的界面动力学和多重尺度变形,从全局扁平化到局部不稳定波。变形在逐步减小的尺度上发生,同时与周围气相相互作用,形成非线性级联。每次局部波动都是自相似演化或亚二次破碎过程的前兆,最终以韧带介导的机制结束。在实际场景中,液滴经常遭遇非均匀、非定常、脉冲式或可压缩流动(如激波),构成极端条件。外部流动的非均匀性或非定常性的时空尺度必须与液滴变形尺度在全局或局部层面相当,才能影响跨层级变形尺度的气动破碎级联。有趣的是,高马赫数下的可压缩效应被证明会抑制破碎趋势。

Abstract

Soap films and bubbles are inherently unstable systems that evolve over time. Their thickness is primarily governed by the competition between capillary and viscous forces. The presence of surfactants introduces Marangoni stresses, which limit interfacial extension and significantly increase film lifetime. While the bulk flow is typically well-described by a simple Poiseuille profile between the two interfaces, the interfacial dynamics can induce complex behaviors, even in the simple case of horizontal film drainage, which is used as a paradigmatic example in this review. The interfacial velocity is dictated by the thickness gradients and by the interfacial rheology, which, in many practical cases, reduces to the condition of an incompressible interface. This simplified framework allows for analytical predictions and scaling laws in axisymmetric flows. It is also consistent with the spontaneous symmetry breaking that may be observed in horizontal films—a phenomenon associated with the marginal regeneration process, which remains only partially understood. This review presents the most elementary theoretical frameworks capable of capturing the essential features of these flows and provides quantitative comparisons with available experimental data.

摘要(中文)

皂膜和气泡本质上是随时间演化的不稳定系统。其厚度主要由毛细力和黏性力之间的竞争决定。表面活性剂的存在引入了马兰戈尼应力,限制了界面扩展并显著延长了膜寿命。虽然体相流动通常可以很好地用两个界面之间的简单泊肃叶剖面来描述,但界面动力学即使在水平膜排液这一简单情况下(本综述将其作为范例)也会引发复杂行为。界面速度由厚度梯度和界面流变学决定,在许多实际情况中,后者可简化为不可压缩界面条件。这一简化框架允许在轴对称流动中进行分析预测和标度律推导。它也与水平膜中可能观察到的自发对称性破缺现象一致——该现象与边缘再生过程相关,目前仍只有部分被理解。本综述介绍了能够捕捉这些流动基本特征的最基本理论框架,并与现有实验数据进行了定量比较。

Abstract

In-flight ice accretion poses a major safety concern in aviation. It occurs due to the icing from clouds of supercooled water droplets, the accumulation of ice crystals at high altitudes, or snow buildup. Assessing the detrimental effects of ice accretion on aircraft performance and handling qualities is a complex, multidisciplinary task, as it requires modeling the dynamics of the dispersed phase (water droplets, ice crystals, and snowflakes), the particle impact dynamics and its interaction with the aircraft surfaces, the liquid film dynamics, the solidification process, and possibly ice shedding. The ice protection systems must also be modeled. The present review addresses the status of ice accretion models and simulation tools. The intrinsically stochastic nature of ice accretion, combined with substantial operational and modeling uncertainties, makes it challenging to validate these tools against experimental observations and use simulation as a reliable means of compliance for certification in icing conditions, especially for innovative aircraft configurations such as wing-body and advanced urban air mobility vehicles.

飞行中积冰是航空领域的一个重大安全隐患。它由过冷水滴云团、高海拔冰晶积聚或积雪引起。评估积冰对飞机性能和操纵品质的不利影响是一项复杂的多学科任务,需要对分散相(水滴、冰晶和雪花)动力学、颗粒撞击动力学及其与飞机表面的相互作用、液膜动力学、凝固过程以及可能的脱冰进行建模。冰防护系统也必须被建模。本综述讨论了积冰模型和模拟工具的现状。积冰本质上具有随机性,加上大量的操作和建模不确定性,使得验证这些工具与实验观测的一致性、将模拟作为结冰条件下适航认证的可靠手段变得具有挑战性,特别是对于翼身融合和先进城市空中交通飞行器等创新构型飞机。

Abstract

In this article, we review recent progress in the fundamental understanding of the motion of flexible fibers in a turbulent flow, made through multiscale experiments and simulations. Emphasis is given to problems involving flexible fibers that can be conveniently described with discrete and continuum models closely related to the slender body theory. Current state-of-the-art measurement and simulation methods, including optical techniques, Euler–Lagrange approaches for tracking large swarms of fibers, and recent methodologies for simulating finite-size fibers, are discussed. The capabilities of simulations and experiments are surveyed in connection with the current physical understanding of how flexible fibers interact with the full spectrum of length scales and timescales of turbulence. We review the phenomenological and statistical features of fiber dispersion and spatial distribution. We also discuss the relevant aspects of fiber rotation and deformation, highlighting their connection with mechanisms such as fragmentation and turbulence modulation, which are known to exhibit peculiar features in the case of flexible fibers. We conclude our analysis by providing an outlook on future research direction paths, open methodological issues, and expected advances, in particular those associated with the study of flexible particles in a broader sense.

Abstract

This review first examines how urban wind flow impacts the sustainability and resilience of cities and identifies the three main challenges in predictive modeling of urban flows: the complexity of the flow physics, the variability and uncertainty in the flow conditions, and the diversity and multiscale nature of urban geometries. To review the complexity of the flow physics, the typical flow patterns observed in canonical urban flows are summarized, and related modeling challenges and opportunities in both wind tunnel experiments and simulations are highlighted. Next, opportunities to predict realistic urban flows by addressing the other challenges are explored through the lens of a modeling framework with uncertainty quantification. The important role of field measurements, supporting the more accurate characterization of uncertainties in the flow conditions, as well as enabling validation with real-world data, is emphasized. The review concludes with two specific examples that demonstrate how integrated use of field measurements and computational models can improve the understanding and modeling of real urban flows to ultimately support sustainable development goals for urban areas.

本综述首先考察了城市风场如何影响城市的可持续性和韧性,并指出了城市流动预测建模的三个主要挑战:流动物理的复杂性、流动条件的变异性和不确定性,以及城市几何形状的多样性和多尺度性质。为回顾流动物理的复杂性,文章总结了典型城市流动中观察到的典型流动模式,并强调了风洞实验和模拟中相关的建模挑战与机遇。接下来,通过带有不确定性量化的建模框架,探索了通过解决其他挑战来预测真实城市流动的途径。文章强调了现场测量的重要作用——它支持更准确地表征流动条件中的不确定性,同时实现与真实世界数据的验证。综述以两个具体示例结尾,展示了现场测量和计算模型的综合使用如何增进对真实城市流动的理解和建模,最终支持城市地区的可持续发展目标。

Abstract

In liquid filtration, a particulate-laden feed solution is passed through a porous material (the filter), often a membrane, designed to capture the particulate matter. Usually, the filter has a complex interior structure of interconnected pores, through which the feed passes, and in many cases of interest, it may be reasonable to approximate this interior structure as a network of interconnected tubes. This idea, which dates back about 70 years, greatly simplifies the modeling and simulation of the filtration process. In this article, we review the use of networks as a framework for modeling and investigating filtration, describing the key ideas and milestones. We also discuss some promising areas for future development of this field, particularly concerning the design of next-generation filters.

Abstract

The objective of this contribution is to review more than 80 years of experimental measurements of the settling of snow particles and surrogates in natural and laboratory settings and suggest viable directions for future research. Under the broad category of frozen hydrometeors, snow particles are characterized by a variety of shapes and inertial properties that we broadly refer to as snow morphology attributes and depend on the micrometeorology of the air column, including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, and turbulence. The uncertainty in the prediction of snow settling velocity is partly due to the significant variability in snow crystal shape, density, and drag properties, as well as the modulating effect of ambient turbulence, which has been observed to affect particle orientation and falling style and enhance or reduce the terminal velocity, as compared to quiescent flow conditions. Because of the complexity of finite-size, nonspherical particles’ interaction with turbulent flows at high Reynolds numbers, we stress the need for simultaneous flow and snow morphology measurements in the field and we review past and current experimental techniques and methodologies.

本文旨在综述80多年来在自然和实验室条件下对雪花颗粒及其替代物沉降的实验测量,并提出未来研究的可行方向。在冷冻水凝物的广义类别下,雪花颗粒具有多种形状和惯性特性,我们将其统称为”雪形态学属性”,这些属性取决于气柱的微气象学条件,包括温度、相对湿度、风速和湍流。雪花沉降速度预测的不确定性部分源于雪晶形状、密度和阻力的显著变异性,以及环境湍流的调制效应——观测表明,与静流条件相比,湍流会影响颗粒取向和下落方式,并增大或减小终端沉降速度。由于有限尺寸非球形颗粒在高雷诺数下与湍流相互作用的复杂性,我们强调需要在野外同时进行流动和雪形态学测量,并回顾了过去和现在的实验技术和方法。

Abstract

Particulate suspensions, consisting of solid particles dispersed in a fluid, exhibit complex flow behaviors influenced by multiple factors, including particle interactions, concentration gradients, and external forces. Suspensions play an important role in diverse processes, from sediment transport to food processing, and display instabilities triggered by shear-driven effects, frictional interactions, and viscous forces. These instabilities can often be understood by identifying the key mechanical quantities that govern the dynamics. Following hydrodynamic tradition, such mechanics can be characterized by dimensionless numbers, which encapsulate the interplay between geometric, kinematic, and mechanical factors. Many of these numbers represent competitions between opposing pairs of mechanical quantities, which we discuss in detail while also considering a few phenomena that require more complex combinations. By emphasizing the underlying mechanical principles, this review provides a perspective for understanding pattern formation and flow instabilities in confined particulate suspensions across different flow geometries.

颗粒悬浮液由分散在流体中的固体颗粒组成,表现出受多种因素影响的复杂流动行为,包括颗粒相互作用、浓度梯度和外力。悬浮液在从沉积物输运到食品加工等多种过程中发挥重要作用,并表现出由剪切驱动效应、摩擦相互作用和黏性力触发的不稳定性。这些不稳定性通常可以通过识别控制动力学的关键力学量来理解。遵循流体力学传统,这类力学可以用无量纲数来表征,这些无量纲数封装了几何、运动学和力学因素之间的相互作用。其中许多无量纲数代表对立力学量对之间的竞争,我们对此进行了详细讨论,同时也考虑了一些需要更复杂组合的现象。通过强调基本力学原理,本综述为理解不同流动几何中受限颗粒悬浮液的图案形成和流动不稳定性提供了一个视角。

Abstract

Geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics (GAFD) is an interdisciplinary field. It encompasses a wide range of fluid systems, from planetary atmospheres and the oceans of Earth and icy moons to the interiors of telluric planets, giant planets, and stars. It also spans vast timescales and space scales. Despite this diversity, GAFD is built on common challenges in fundamental fluid mechanics, requiring a multi-approach strategy that integrates theory, simulations, and experiments to explain observations. This review highlights the role of laboratory experiments in GAFD. We first emphasize recent advances in experimental design, methods, and metrology, including large-scale facilities as well as innovative and analog setups. We then focus on two areas where experiments have driven recent breakthroughs: rotating turbulence and flows involving multiphase and phase-change processes. Finally, we discuss emerging challenges and the potential of outreach experiments to stimulate interest in fluid mechanics among students and the public.

Abstract

The squeezing of blood cells and vesicles through narrow constrictions, such as splenic slits, pulmonary capillaries, vascular endothelial gaps, and microfluidic channels, is crucial in physiology and biotechnology, with fluid mechanics playing a central role. The diverse geometries of these constrictions, the associated flow conditions, and the unique mechanical properties of cells and vesicles create a rich subject in fluid mechanics emerging from nonlinear dynamics of fluid–structure interactions involving both lubrication and Marangoni flows. Advances in microfluidics, video microscopy, and computational modeling have enabled investigations into these complex processes. This review surveys the key features and approaches, recent prominent studies, and unresolved challenges related to these processes, offering insights for researchers across biomechanics, biomedical engineering, biological physics, hematology, physiology, and applied mathematics.

Abstract

Microplastic pollution is now ubiquitous in marine environments, posing risks to ecosystem and human health. In order to assess and mitigate this threat, we require accurate prediction of microplastic fate and transport in the ocean. While progress has been made studying global-scale transport pathways, our models often fall short at smaller scales; processes such as vertical transport, horizontal dispersion, particle transformation, and boundary fluxes (e.g., at beaches and the air–sea interface) remain poorly understood. The difficulty lies in the physical features of plastic particles: namely, near-neutral buoyancy in seawater, finite size, and irregular shape. These complexities are compounded by the multiscale forcing from waves and turbulence near the ocean surface where microplastics tend to reside. This review synthesizes recent advances in the fluid dynamics of marine plastic transport, emphasizing the role of fluid–particle interactions in ocean flows and highlighting outstanding challenges.

微塑料污染如今在海洋环境中已无处不在,对生态系统和人类健康构成威胁。为了评估和缓解这一威胁,我们需要准确预测微塑料在海洋中的归宿和输运。虽然在研究全球尺度输运路径方面已取得进展,但我们的模型在更小尺度上常常不足;垂直输运、水平弥散、颗粒转化和边界通量(如在海滩和海-气界面处)等过程仍知之甚少。困难在于塑料颗粒的物理特征:即在海水中近乎中性浮力、有限尺寸和不规则形状。这些复杂性因微塑料倾向于聚集的海面附近波浪和湍流的多尺度强迫而加剧。本综述综合了海洋塑料输运流体力学方面的最新进展,强调了流体-颗粒相互作用在海洋流动中的作用,并突出了尚未解决的挑战。

Abstract

Internal waves, generated by wind and tides, are ubiquitous in the ocean. Their dissipation and the resulting vertical mixing play an important role in setting the ocean circulation, stratification, and energetics. Ocean models usually parameterize many or all of these effects. The current generation of parameterizations often relies on assumptions of uniform or slowly varying stratification profiles. Here, we review the growing theoretical, modeling, and observational evidence that vertical nonuniformity in the stratification profile can significantly modify the assumed wave dynamics. Linear scattering, wave–wave interactions, and solitary-like internal wave generation in idealized nonuniform stratification profiles are discussed. The nonuniform features in oceanic vertical stratification profiles are characterized, followed by a discussion of the validity of the slowly varying stratification assumption for such profiles. A concerted effort is made to synthesize research in both fluid dynamics and oceanography.

由风和潮汐产生的内波在海洋中无处不在。其耗散和由此产生的垂直混合在决定海洋环流、层化和能量学方面发挥重要作用。海洋模型通常对许多或全部这些效应进行参数化。当前一代的参数化通常依赖于均匀或缓慢变化层化剖面的假设。本文综述了日益增多的理论、模拟和观测证据,表明层化剖面中的垂直非均匀性可以显著改变假设的波动力学。讨论了理想化非均匀层化剖面中的线性散射、波-波相互作用以及类孤立内波的生成。文章表征了海洋垂直层化剖面中的非均匀特征,随后讨论了缓慢变化层化假设对这些剖面的有效性。我们致力于综合流体力学和海洋学两方面的研究。

Abstract

Direct-ink writing (DIW) has rapidly become a versatile 3D fabrication method due to its ability to deposit a wide range of complex fluids into customizable 3D geometries. This review highlights key fundamental fluid mechanics and soft matter challenges across the different stages of the DIW printing process. The rheology of fluids and suspensions governs the flow behavior through narrow nozzles, posing questions about extrudability, confined flow dynamics, and clogging mechanisms. Downstream, the formation and deposition of extruded filaments involve extensional flows and potential instabilities, while postdeposition dynamics introduces complexities related to yield stress and structural stability. These stages are inherently interdependent, as optimizing material composition without considering filament stability risks compromising the final structure. As DIW applications expand through advanced ink formulations, developing fundamental fluid mechanics frameworks is essential to replace trial-and-error approaches with predictive design methodologies to enable more precise control and improved reliability of the printing process.

直写式打印(DIW)因其能够将各种复杂流体沉积为可定制的三维几何形状,已迅速成为一种通用的三维制造方法。本综述突出了DIW打印过程不同阶段中的关键基础流体力学和软物质挑战。流体和悬浮液的流变学决定了通过窄喷嘴的流动行为,对可挤出性、受限流动动力学和堵塞机制提出了问题。在下游,挤出长丝的形成和沉积涉及拉伸流动和潜在不稳定性,而沉积后动力学引入了与屈服应力和结构稳定性相关的复杂性。这些阶段本质上相互依赖,在不考虑长丝稳定性的情况下优化材料成分可能危及最终结构。随着DIW应用通过先进的墨水配方而扩展,开发基础流体力学框架对于用预测性设计方法替代试错法、实现更精确的控制和更高的打印过程可靠性至关重要。

Abstract

Porous media flows are generally viewed as inefficient mixers, where solutes may be dispersed yet poorly mixed, making mixing a critical limiting factor for a wide range of processes. The complexity and opacity of porous structures have long made these dynamics difficult to observe. With emerging experimental techniques, concepts and models of mixing in porous media are rapidly evolving. Recent advances link mixing dynamics to fluid deformation arising in flow through porous materials. Unlike diffusion and dispersion, which only dissipate chemical gradients, fluid shear and stretching amplify and sustain them. This review explores the role of fluid deformation in governing mixing, chemical reactions, and biological processes in porous media. We begin by highlighting key experimental observations that have improved our understanding of mixing in these systems. We then examine the fundamental concepts, models, and open questions surrounding fluid deformation and mixing in porous media, emphasizing their dependence on material structure, heterogeneity, dimensionality, and transient flow phenomena, as well as their interaction with chemical and biological processes.

多孔介质流动通常被视为低效混合器,溶质可以被弥散但难以充分混合,使混合成为多种过程的关键限制因素。多孔结构的复杂性和不透明性长期以来使这些动力学难以观测。随着新兴实验技术的出现,多孔介质中混合的概念和模型正在快速发展。近期进展将混合动力学与多孔材料流动中产生的流体变形联系起来。与仅耗散化学梯度的扩散和弥散不同,流体剪切和拉伸会放大并维持化学梯度。本综述探讨了流体变形在控制多孔介质中混合、化学反应和生物过程中的作用。我们首先突出了增进我们对此类系统混合理解的关键实验观测。然后,我们考察了多孔介质中流体变形和混合的基本概念、模型和开放问题,强调了它们对材料结构、非均匀性、维度和瞬态流动现象的依赖性,以及它们与化学和生物过程的相互作用。

Abstract

Characterizing the physical and dynamic meteorology of wildland fires has obvious socioeconomic importance and is necessary to develop not only firefighting but also mitigation strategies such as prescribed burns and effective fuel management practices such as forest thinning. However, despite significant progress over a century, there are shortcomings in our understanding of the physical processes governing wildland fire behavior. Although some research progress has been made in understanding how fires spread on grasslands, several aspects of fire behavior within the forest canopy environment are still not well-understood. This review is an attempt to organize the fluid mechanics of the mass, momentum, and energy transfer during wildland fire events through the lens of vegetation canopy turbulence. The structure, organization, and progress of the flame front and the buoyant plume through the canopy are shown to be intricately related to the coherent structures associated with fire–vegetation–atmosphere interaction, and potential future research directions are identified.

表征野火的物理和动力学气象学具有明显的社会经济重要性,不仅对制定消防策略,而且对制定规定的燃烧和有效的燃料管理实践(如森林疏伐)等缓解策略都是必要的。然而,尽管在一个世纪以来取得了重大进展,我们对控制野火行为的物理过程的理解仍存在不足。虽然在理解草地火灾蔓延方面取得了一些研究进展,但林冠环境内火灾行为的若干方面仍不甚清楚。本综述试图通过植被林冠湍流的视角来组织野火事件中质量、动量和能量传递的流体力学。火焰前锋和浮力羽流在林冠中的结构、组织和推进被证明与火-植被-大气相互作用相关的相干结构密切相关,并指出了未来可能的研究方向。

Abstract

Decarbonization of buildings is one of the main challenges for the energy transition. In particular, the provision of heating, cooling, and ventilation to maintain a comfortable and healthy interior environment can be very energy intensive. Three approaches to help with the decarbonization of buildings are (a) upgrading the building envelope, especially the insulation, to reduce heat flow to or from the exterior; (b) improving the efficiency of the heating or cooling system, including the design and operation of ventilation flows; and (c) decarbonization of the heating and cooling systems, typically through electrification using heat pumps, and possibly the development of heat networks and interseasonal heat storage. This review touches on different elements of these challenges, mainly those related to ventilation, exploring some of the complexities of the fluid mechanics involved.
