CFD has been applied to calculate the flow in a kitchen hood system at operating conditions. Fluent code was used to solve the governing equations (mass, momentum, energy and turbulence).The predicted characteristics curves of the hood ventilator and load coefficients appear to be in good agreement with the experimental data.
