Part 1 of this paper gives first an outline of the experiment (full-scale measurement of the air velocity carried under isothermal condition), then discusses the 2 modeling methods - the BOX method and the P.V. method - used for CFD simulation.The results of calculations with the 2 methods showed good agreement with the experimental data.

This method enables the determination of the influence of heating source characteristics on mean radiant temperature for composite room surfaces, as well as on thermal comfort and discomfort. A maximal possible thermal comfort area can be achieved with the determination of the best interactive influence between the building structure and its heating system.

The paper deals with the CFD analysis performed for a family house residence, which is in the design phase : the aim was to test several concepts for heating ( floor heating, floor convectors, both systems) in terms of thermal comfort.

The objective of this parametric study is to vary some parameters related to the conception of an atrium in order to analyse through CFD calculations their impact on the thermal behaviour during the critical summer conditions. The guideline produced are intended to help the architects especially at the first stage of the conception process.

This paper deals with an approach to a multizone airflow analysis that can account for mechanical energy conservation. It is shown that the resistance (dissipation) provided by zones in a multizone analysis should not be ignored.

The results of a study testing the possibility of using Dynamical Thermal Modelling (DTM) techniques within CFD are reported in this paper. Two test procedures (an extensive one and a simplified one) were conducted for the modelling of an enclosure, to model heat exchanges through building materials and effects on internal temperatures and air flows.

Full-scale laboratory measurements combined with numerical simulations were undertaken to evaluate CFD capability to predict the pesticide dispersion in a naturally ventilated building. CFD successfully reproduced the trends but overestimates the mixing inside the building.

This paper describes the precautions that have to be taken in design and installation of ventilation systems in order to reduce their noise. They concern fans, ducts and ductwork, air inlet and outlet, air diffusers, air handling unit.

This paper deals with the development of 2 approaches for the modelling of the transport of gaseous pollutant with CFD code Fluent. The pollutant is either considered as a scalar and modelled with a transport equation, or it is described through species transported modelling. The 2 methods are presented and the results compared to those obtained from an experiment made in a test cell with tracer gas SF6.

This work concerns turbulence levels in a practical operating theatre of a 1200 beds Egyptian modern teaching hospital. The turbulence characteristics were represented by a modified k - epsilon model. Then a series of experimental investigations were preformed in the operating room to investigate the flow and temperature patterns and to assess the validity of the numerical model to be used.
