Activate Radiation in simulation to account for reflections.

Outdoor glass:
Assume that external solar gain : internal solar gain (pretty big assumption since we specify a thermal resistance for the wall)
Set gain to : solar_gain x absorptivity_outdoor_glass

Indoor glass:
gain : solar_gain x transmissivty_outdoor_glass x absorptivity_indoor_glass

Assuming total solar gain : 500 watts per m2
absorbivity : 0.4
transmissivity : 0.5

This project aims at validating the heating capacity of the HVAC system of a 3 story residential building, the indoor air quality design, and the thermal comfort in winter conditions and summer conditions

Flow through different vent diffuser designs and analysis of occupant thermal comfort.

Investigation of occupant thermal comfort for a naturally ventilated warehouse.

Thermal comfort assessment of an office space using CFD with SimScale.

A small part of the SimScale office . We actually don't have any active cooling here (Germany) so we took a few liberties to make this more interesting!

Natural Ventilation of a department store.

Pedestrian Wind Comfort Analysis for assessing the wind speeds in areas meant for recreational use.

This project uses a steady-state CFD analysis to investigate the aerodynamic performance and energy conversion capability of a vertical axis wind turbine. Both a stationary and rotating case is considered.

Predicting Window Fogging with SimScale CFD.

HVAC of an entire floor of an office building.

CFD analysis of airflow within an apartment to evaluate thermal comfort and investigate draft.

In this analysis, a CFD study is carried out of an entire HVAC system inside a large library room. The objective is to predict thermal comfort in a winter scenario in a library. So the external walls are assumed to be at 10 Celsius with a heat transfer coefficient towards the inside of the room. Warm air is supplied via the HVAC system and the resulting temperature and velocity distribution is studied.

The wind load on a monument is being analyzed. 8 different wind directions are being simulated. The monument is about 20m high and hence subject to significant wind loads, where CFD is being used to predict them. In a first step, only average wind loads and pressure distribution on the surface is being simulated. The plan is to analyze transient wind loads lateron.

This project aims to obtain the airflow inside two design alternatives for an HVAC system of a theater room. Convective heat transfer simulation is used to obtain the flow pattern inside the room. Thermal comfort parameters such as PMV (Predicted Mean Vote) and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied) are obtained along with the mean age of fluid.
