Further developments in the conflation of CFD and building simulation

To provide practitioners with the means to tackle problems related to poor indoor environments, building simulation and computational fluid dynamics can usefully be integrated within a sin- gle computational framework. This paper describes the outcomes from a research project sponsored by the European Com- mission, which furthered the CFD modelling aspects of the ESP-r system. The paper sum- marises the form of the CFD model and describes the method used to integrate the thermal and flow domains.
