FDS Fire dynamics simulator for HVAC -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Doug Crawford Guest Posts: n/a	Has anyone had any experience using FDS as a general CFD tool for modelling HVAC airflows? Specifically, we want to use it for modelling air temperatures in the range 8ºC to 28ºC, and air velocities in the range of 0.05 m/s to 2 m/s. Would Fluent or similar be a better (but much more expensive!) option? What would be the limitations of using FDS rather than something like Fluent? I would love to hear from anyone with comments regarding this, whether they be recommendations, cautions or good experiences. Thanks, Doug
