The air flow pattern ATLAS - a reference book of computed flow fields.

The first version of this "Atlas" contains over 100 cases of office air flow patterns for different ventilation systems. The book is designed to give the design engineer a quick idea of how a particular system works under various loads. Maps have been prepared for velocity, temperature, turbulent kinetic energy, percentage dissatisfied due to draft risk, and pollutant concentrations (caused by a smoker, bookshelf, or by building materials). So far, furnished office rooms have been analyzed with a k/e-turbulence model finite-volume computer code, and ventilating systems include the displacement and mixing type. The Poster explains how the computations were performed and how the Atlasmay be used.
