The Study of Vent Form of Double-Skin Facade Based on CFD

Abstract:

In this paper, taking a building in Wuhan as a case, the CFD method is used to simulate the air flow field and temperature field of respiration double-skin facade,and by analysis, we know how the position and size of air inlet and air outlet can influence the thermal performance , and their area ratio2:3 is suggested with staggered arrangement. Meanwhile, according to the simulation results of the three models, we come to the conclusion that the special structures of double-skin facade can form natural convection heat transfer, take away the heat in channels and achieve the goal of energy conservation and consumption reduction.
