The objective of the present investigation is to study the potential for both the under-floor displacement and personalized ventilation systems to improve air quality in commercial aircraft cabins.FLUENT was used to simulate airflow in a section of an aircraft cabin with the different ventilation systems : mixing, under-floor displacement, and personalized ventilation.The overall performance of each system was analyzed by comparing CO2 concentration, air temperature, and air velocity distributions. Based on the results of this analysis, it is recommended that the personalized ventilation system be potentially used for future commercial aircraftcabins.
