CFD Simulation and Retrofit of Natural Ventilation in a Steel Workshop

Article Preview

Abstract:

Natural ventilation in an workshop of iron and steel company has been numerically simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. Realizable k −ε turbulent model combined with a DO radiation model which took into account the radiation between the heat source and the wall was applied to carry out the simulation for a typical industrial workshop. Numerical results were verified by published experimental data of local temperature and further modification of the workshop structure was made based on numerical calculation to improve the natural ventilation effect further.
