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

Investigation of occupant thermal comfort for a naturally ventilated warehouse.

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

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.

HVAC of an entire floor of an office building.

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

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.
