A computational fluid dynamics simulation platform for prediction of commercial kitchen ventilation flow fields.

Summary

A finite element computational fluid dynamics algorithm, well benchmarked and validated, is applied to simulation of flowfields containing buoyant plumes in commercial kitchen applications. The computational fluid dynamics simulation model fully connects heating, ventilation and air conditioning supply and hood exhaust systems, and boundary conditions are developed allowing genuine specification of ventilation system balance. Computational experiments are presented to compare the action of open and diffused supply outlets, as well as conventional and make-up hood systems for a nominal kitchen set-up.
