This paper presents a numerical method for the study of cross-ventilation with respect to the use of local dynamic similarity model. That model is a ventilation model which predicts the discharge coefficient and the inflow angle at the opening of a cross-ventilated building. Results indicate that the flow rate either calculated directly by CFD or using the local dynamic similarity model is acceptable.
