TN 40: An Overview of Combined Modeling of Heat Transport and Air Movement

A fundamental objective of this report is to investigate the techniques used in the design and research fields for the evaluation of thermal and airflow simulations. The scope is restricted to the whole building rather than flow and heat transfer within individual structural elements (e.g. cavity walls). Considerable developments are taking place in the field of air flow and thermal simulation. Rather than present an in-depth study of these developments, this report concentrates on the rather more general aspects of the combined simulation.
