... techniques. A model based on computational fluid dynamics has been developed for predicting the indoor thermal environment. Assessment is made of the effects of radiation heat transfer and moisture condensation on the accuracy of predicted indoor thermal comfort. 11 8 2017 1996 Copyright...

...Z. Jiang; F. Haghighat; Q. Chen This paper describes the results of a computational fluid dynamics study to assess the air freshness and percentage of dissatisfied people due to air quality in a partitioned office with different supply air diffusers. The numerical model involves the finite-volume...

...Qingyan Chen; Nien-Tzu Chao Computational fluid dynamics may be used to predict the details of airflow in rooms served by displacement ventilation systems, provided a suitable turbulence model can be found. Since buoyant plumes are central to the displacement ventilation strategy, four turbulence...

...Charles R. Broderick III; Qingyan Chen It is becoming a popular practice for architects and HVAC engineers to simulate airflow in and around buildings by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods in order to predict indoor and outdoor environment. However, many CFD programs are crippled...

...W.K. Chow; L.T. Wong Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used in a study of the air flow characteristics in the occupied building zone. Correlation equations between the mean air speeds and the percentage dissatisfied with the macroscopic flow numbers were derived. Ten macroscopic flow numbers...
