Simulation of airflow through large openings in buildings.

Author(s) : SCHAELIN A., MAAS J. van der, MOSER A.

Summary

The coupling of indoor airflow to the outdoor flow through large openings in buildings that allow bidirectional flow is of considerable interest for many applications. In the work, the airflow pattern has been calculated for situations in which warm air leaves a room through the upper part of the large opening and rises as a thermal plume, with and without interaction with wind. Both two-and three-dimensional simulations of the velocity and temperature fields in a thermal plume agree well with the analytical models.
