Internal partitioning and air movement in mixing ventilation.

In this study, the effects of internal partition on ventilation performance in terms of room air change efficiency and ventilation effectiveness were investigated. A model test room was used and the physical test conditions were simulated numerically by using a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code under isothermal conditions. The test room was ventilated in mixing mode and different partition configurations, including its location, height and gap underneath as well as the contaminant source location, were examined.
