Ventilation of an auditorium and its effect on wall heat transfer.

Author(s) : VAZQUEZ B., SAMANO D., YIANNESKIS M.

Summary

A numerical study of the forced convection flows across a two-dimensional cross-section of an auditorium was performed. The aim of the study was to determine the flow patterns and temperature fields produced by the ventilation and assess their effect on the wall heat transfer and the thermal comfort conditions inside the auditorium. The flow rate through the outlet was varied to obtain Reynolds numbers from 1,000 to 150,000. In all cases, the body heat generated by the occupants of the auditorium was modelled. The effects of the location of the air inlets, of the size of the air outlet and of the outlet velocity on the flow patterns were investigated.
