Aircraft passenger cabin ECS-Generated Ventilation Velocity and Mass Transport CFD simulation : velocity field ventilation

That research project of the CFD Lab of the University of Tennessee in collaboration with the civil aerospace medical institute (CAMI) of the Federal Aviation Administration aimed at validating the CFD prediction of the ECS-generated ventilation velocity vector flow field of a wide-body aircraft passenger cabin. Measurements were carried out in laboratory and in an identical wide-body aircraft in cruise flight at altitude. Simulations with CFD codes were conducted. The results are presented and assess CFD alogorithm/code strengths and weaknesses.
