Abstract

Abstract Ab Anbars were used in most areas of Iran, especially in hot and dry climates, to keep water cool. The dome of Ab Anbars had varying heights and forms used to cover the reservoir. The present study conducted an experimental and numerical review of five sample Ab Anbar domes of different structures from a hot dry climate in Yazd. To conduct the research, Tg and Ta parameters inside and outside the domes were simultaneously taken from morning to evening with two data loggers on the hottest days of the year, while during the day, the surface temperature was exposed to radiation and dome shadow were captured using a thermometer. For validation, samples of the fixed span were modeled in Rhinoceros5 software and tested with Radiance Engine of solar radiation analysis algorithm on the hottest day of the year in three intervals of 2,4, 6 p.m. in order to identify the most suitable dome in terms of heat reception for hot and dry climates. The findings indicated that there was a good relationship between experimental and simulation data. The amount of sunlight reception on the dome surfaces varied in each time interval. The discrepancy level of Tg and Ta parameters inside and outside high-rise domes was found to be lower than that of low-rise domes, as low-rise domes absorbed more heat and stored it inside. Therefore, high-rise domes were among the most suitable covering areas for Ab Anbars in the hot and dry climate of Yazd.
