THE COUPLED AIR FLOW AND THERMAL ANALYSIS PROBLEM IN BUILDING AIR FLOW SYSTEM SIMULATION.

Author(s) : AXLEY J., GROT R.

Summary

THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY AND VENTILATION GROUP AT THE NIST FORMERLY THE NBS, HAS DEVELOPED A METHOD OF BUILDING AIR FLOW ANALYSIS, BASED UPON ELEMENT ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES, THAT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY APPLIED TO THE DETERMINATION OF THE MACROSCOPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF INFILTRATION, EXFILTRATION, AND INTERZONAL AIR FLOWS IN COMPLEX BUILDING AIR FLOW SYSTEMS DRIVEN BY WIND PRESSURES, BUOYANT FORCES, AND THE BUILDING HVAC SYSTEM. THIS ANALYTICAL METHOD WAS FORMULATED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH A DISCRETE THERMAL ANALYSIS METHOD. THE PAPER WILL REVIEW THE THEORETICAL BASES OF THESE METHODS AND PRESENT A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK FOR INTEGRATING THE FLOW WITH THE THERMAL ANALYSIS METHODS TO SOLVE THE COUPLED AIR FLOW AND THERMAL ANALYSIS PROBLEM IN BUILDING AIR FLOW SYSTEM SIMULATION.
