|
|
Dear Steve,
I was wondering about the CFD modules capabilities of simulate building with atrium. The atrium is surrounded by offices.
The airflow network that we would like to model is based on both cross ventilation and stack effect.
The plenums are part of the natural ventilation path.
I am wondering if there is any suggestions for this specific case and if you see any limitations.
Very Kind Rergars,
Emanuele

Dear Emanuele,
I would suggest that you conduct a linked E+/CFD simulation in order to establish boundary opening flow rates for natural ventilation.
If you go to the Training->Online Learning->Webinars page of the website, you will find a recording of a webinar demonstrating the E+/CFD link.
Hope this is of help.
Regards,
Steve

Dear Steve,
Of Course I am going to link E+ and CFD.
My question was just about what type of limitation (and remediation) you see in this approach regardless of Chimney effect calculation, given the fact that E+ airflow simulation is not accurate in predicting buoyancy.
Thank you,
Emanuele
