Modeling of Indoor Thermal Conditions for Comfort Control in Buildings

摘要

This thesis studies two simplified modeling methods of indoor dynamic temperaturedistributions. The modeling procedures still rely on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) theory but only solves the energy equations. The fundamental assumption for the modeling methods is that the indoor air flow field can be kept constant. It is validated to be true by using smoke visualization in an air-conditioned room with forced air flows. The air field and effective exchange coefficients can be percalculated with the steady-state CFD calculation.
