Abstract:
Engineers need the tools to effectively and reliably perform indoor environmental modeling using CFD by defining the steps necessary to verify, validate, and report CFD analyses of indoor environmental applications. These steps need detailed illustrative examples of how they can be applied to representative problems. Currently, there is not such a reference available, hence CFD modeling being performed in ASHRAE funded projects or in the industry may be inconsistent in terms of the level, which CFD analyses are verified, validated, and reported. The results of this project will be integrated into the ASHRAE Fundamentals Handbook as part of the new chapter entitled "Indoor Environmental Calculations." The objective of this research project is to provide guidance to engineers on how to verify, validate and report the results of CFD analyses which model indoor environmental conditions and illustrate the process on relevant examples.
