Ventilation Simulation & Experiment Data
 

Dear all,

I am doing a CFD simulation of ventilation process (including heat transfer) in a spacecraft cabin under micorgravity(http://www.cfd-online.com/Resources/...rec.cgi?line=9)using FLUENT5. I need to validate my turbulence model and calculation results with ground-based experiment data and then by seting g=0 to extrapolate it to microgravity environment. I need urgently some ventilation experiment data on ground in 3D(isotherm/non-isotherm, with/without obstacles, preferably in a mixing ventilation case) in buildings or in similar cases, can some one of you share with me your experiment results (if any) or give me some pointers where I can find some of them? Any feedback are highly appreciated and thank you very much for your kind help in advance.

Cheers,

Shengping

Hi Walter,

Thank you for your kind feedback. I know there are many good infos in ASHRAE Transactions and Building & Energy, unfortunately I don't have access to them, so I hope some of you who have access to them or have some infos at hand can share with me your results.

Best regards,

Shengping
