Three-dimensional numerical simulation of air contamination dispersal in a room.

Author(s) : YAGHOUBI M. A., KNAPPMILLER K. D., KIRKPATRICK A. T.

Summary

A numerical study of air movement and contaminant transport was made to predict airflow patterns, ventilation performance and indoor air quality in a typical office space. Both conventional cooling and cold-air-jet cooling methods were investigated. The space heat load is from a hot wall that creates a plume. This plume either opposes or aids the flow of the jet, depending on its location. The ventilation efficiency as well as the contaminant removal effectiveness of cold-jet cooling were nearly the same as those of conventional cooling. Detailed results are presented.
