THE PREDICTION OF AIR MOVEMENT IN INDOOR SWIMMING POOLS.

Author(s) : SCHMITZ R. M., AHL J. P., RENZ U.

Summary

AN INDOOR SWIMMING POOL IS CONSIDERED IN WHICH A DRY, WARM AIR JET ON THE COLD WINDOW PREVENTS CONDENSATION AND PRODUCES COMFORTABLE ROOM AIR CONDITIONS. THE TURBULENT FLOWS WITHIN THE JET AND IN THE ROOM ARE DETERMINED BY SOLVING THE CONSERVATION EQUATIONS OF MASS, MOMENTUM AND HEAT TOGETHER WITH THE BUOYANCY. NUMERICAL METHODS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE PLANNING OF AIR CONDITIONING AND VENTILATION SYSTEMS INVOLVING AIR CURTAIN UNITS. NUMERICAL PREDICTIONS ARE FAIRLY CHEAP AND LESS TIME-CONSUMING THAN SMALL-SCALE EXPERIMENTS. A COMPARISON BETWEEN PREDICTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS OF VELOCITY, TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY WAS CARRIED OUT.
