CFD boundary conditions for contaminant dispersion, heat transfer and airflow simulations around human occupants in indoor environments.

Author(s) : SREBRIC J., VUKOVIC V., HE G., et al.

Summary

Indoor computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can predict contaminant dispersion around human occupants and provide valuable information in resolving indoor air quality or homeland security problems. The accuracy of CFD simulations strongly depends on the appropriate setting of boundary conditions and numerical simulation parameters. The study explores influence of the following three key boundary condition settings on the simulation accuracy: (1) contaminant source area size, (2) convective/radiative heat fluxes, and (3) shape/size of human simulators.
