Numerical simulation of volatile organic compounds dispersion emitted from flooring materials in buildings.

Summary

The paper deals with the simulation of volatile organic compounds (VOC) concentration dispersion emitted from flooring material, with the purpose of understanding VOC emission and dispersion mechanisms. A test chamber is examined, whose flooring material emits a number of VOCs. Given the area specific ventilation rate and considering as boundary conditions experimental data for the examined compounds concentrations, the dispersion of the VOCs concentrations is examined, for two cases, steady state conditions and transient state conditions. A model is developed.
