Numerical Simulation of Air Distribution and Particle Movement in a Displacement Ventilated Room

Article Preview

Abstract:

As people spend more time indoors, indoor air quality becomes more and more important. Displacement ventilation, as a new type of air-conditioning strategy, has showed remarkable advantages on many occasions. In this paper, the air movement and particle distribution in a displacement ventilation room is studied and analyzed through CFD numerical simulation method. The results show that the airflow field and the temperature field all have obvious hierarchical structure, and the coarse particles have more obvious settling character.
