Summary

Computer simulations may contribute significantly to the optimal design of air-conditioning systems. To capture the effects of partially permeable walls such as bookshelves on the movement of air and heat, it is necessary to extend the density-dependent Navier-Stokes equations by an additional friction term. The finite element technique is convenient to approximate the extended equations in spatial co-ordinates. For the time co-ordinate a recently proposed semi-implicit finite difference method is very efficient in terms of accuracy and computational complexity.
