Two-dimensional forced convection perpendicular to the outdoor fenestration surface finite-element method solution.

Author(s) : CURCIJA D., GOSS W. P.

Summary

Two-dimensional laminar forced convection on an outdoor fenestration surface, with the wind perpendicular to the glazing surface, was analyzed using the penalty function approach finite-element method. A prototype fenestration configuration of a typical wood casement window, consisting of a double-step frame and an insulating glazing unit, was used in defining the outdoor fenestration profile. A flat-plate geometry was also considered for purposes of comparison with other available numerical and experimental results and for validation of the results for the actual fenestration profile. The results are reported.
