New generalized expressions for forced convective heat transfer coefficients at building facades and roofs (2017, background): “This requires a y* value smaller than 5 and preferably equal to 1 [50,51] which implies a very high near-wall grid resolution, yielding wall-adjacent cell sizes that can go down to 300 mm [22,23].”
CFD modelling of flow and scalar exchange of spherical food products: Turbulence and boundary-layer modelling (2013, background): “This facilitates grid generation and increases computational economy but can lead to inaccurate predictions, particularly of wall friction and convective heat transfer (e.g., Defraeye et al., 2010a).”

A simplified numerical model for rainwater runoff on building facades: Possibilities and limitations (2012, background): “Indeed, BE-HAM models are subjected to considerable uncertainties in terms of building material properties and to strong simplifications in terms of boundary conditions such as wind-driven rain [17-19,24-27] and surface convective heat and mass transfer [25-27,29,53-55].”
