In the diagram at the left, if L
to the catwalk is obstructed. Airflow from the wall
side should be assumed to be zero.
In the above formula, the second parameter is
obtained from the area of air inflow from Wall1
and Wall3 sides, and the third parameter is
obtained from the air inflow area from the Wall2
and Wall4 sides.

As shown in the diagram at the left, obtain Lu from
the formula below by considering airflow from the
