Modeling an under floor air distribution system

A model of an UFAD system in a ventilated room is proposed , the room is ventilated with one heat source and one cooling vent as a two-layer stratification.

Theoretical study of pollutant mixing in rooms induced by occupancy

This study presents a model to predict the time required by a pollutant to disperse in a room, due to the effects of room occupancy (a moving person enhances the mixing of pollutants).

Analysis of thermal plumes generated by a seated person, a thermal manikin and a dummy

The experiment shows that the temperature and velocity fields generated above a seated person are comparatively better approached by a thermal manikin rather than a cylindrical dummy.

Influence of moving object on air distribution in ventilated rooms

Experiment and CFD simulation show the influence of moving person simulator (of cylinder shape) and thermal manikins on air distribution in ventilated rooms.

Obstacle effects on airflow and contamination around an open type livestock building

That study aimed at investigating the contaminate distribution in and around a naturally ventilated livestockbuilding with and without an upstream obstacle.

Jet drop and draft risk in a mixing ventilation office : experimental and numerical investigations

This paper is a presentation of a theoretical and experimental analysis of supply air jet flow patterns in a mixing ventilation system. Investigation procedure aims at reducing draft risks.

The effect of enclosure size on the air velocity distribution in axisymmetric jets

The paper presents the results of experimental tests : the enclosure size and background turbulence in the surroundings of the jet have an influence on the air velocity distribution in axisymmetric jets

A comparison between four different ventilation systems

Measurements and CFD simulations are compared for 4 different ventilation systems using the air change index and a new ventilation parameter. It is shown the advantage of impinging jets

Thermal comfort assessments of indoor environments by means of CFD

The paper deals with the CFD analysis performed for a family house residence, which is in the design phase : the aim was to test several concepts for heating ( floor heating, floor convectors, both systems) in terms of thermal comfort.

Macroscopic airflow analysis and the conservation of kinetic energy

This paper deals with an approach to a multizone airflow analysis that can account for mechanical energy conservation. It is shown that the resistance (dissipation) provided by zones in a multizone analysis should not be ignored.
