Convective Heat Transfer

This analysis type is used when temperature changes in the fluid lead to density variations and movement of the fluid due to gravity. This solver can be used for natural convection but also for forced convection, when flow motion is induced by external forces, such as inlets, pumps or fans. | Page 108

To analyze thermal comfort within a building

Convective solver with compressible and radiation effects.

DOE details:
X1: CFM - 100, 150
X2: Outlet position - Baseline, Config1
X3: Duct position - Baseline, Config1
X4: Window1 - Closed, Open
Runs: 16 (full factorial)
Y1: Average PMV on a cut plane @4ft from the floor (sitting height)
Y2: Average PPD on a cut plane @4ft from the floor (sitting height)

This tutorial contains a thermal comfort project, which analyses the duct positioning inside a theater, in order to have an effective ventilation system.

Duct placement study: Window closed, 150 CFM @ 17 deg C

This is a setup to run a design of experiment (DoE) for the thermal comfort studies on a part of SimScale office. The objective is to optimize the thermal comfort in the office.
