Author(s) : JONES P. J., WHITTLE G. E.

Type of article: Article

Summary

States that computational fluid dynamics involves the solution of equations to predict velocity, pressure and temperature. Reviews the application of computational fluid dynamics to building environmental design, examining the major technical issues and identifying current status and potential. Concludes that computational fluid dynamics codes can be applied successfully to building air flow predictions but very carefully.
