To simulate non-isothermal indoor airflow more quickly and correctly, a turbulence model is performed in STACH-3, the 3-D CFD code developed by Tsinghua University. Validation reveals that it is satisfied for non-isothermal indoor airflow. The air distribution in an actual conference room with VAV system is numerically solved by CFD method, and the conventional jet theory method is used for a comparison of the results. Subsequently an analysis is done of the cold air draught and hot air climbing problems. Proposes a new idea for non-isothermal airflow patterns designing in order to avoid the shortcomings of the jet theory method.
