HVAC room simulation

Hello,

I´m a newbie in openFoam. I need do simulate a climatic chamber where I perfom human comfort experiencies. What's the best solver to use in this situation? I need to simulate the temperature, the flows, human emissions of pollutants and moisture.

Thanks

Hi there
I am doing a similar case, intending to evaluate thermal comfort of a human body in a cube domain with inlet and outlets overhead - I believe the best solver is buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam - I have yet to achieve results although I am close.
Boussinesq aproximation I believe is the way to go
kind regards

Hi,
http://www.iconcfd.com/en/register-to-download-hvacfoam Download ICON hvacFOAM 1.7 (Audi Suppliers)
for an old OF Version (1.7) and I do not know how useful this piece of code is! Do not use it myself

Hi,

I think so that buoyantBoussinesqSimpleFoam is the best solution, I´m trying to do that. When I achieve I put here.

Best
