Conclusion

Chen and Xu demonstrated the capability of the simplified model by applying it to predict the airflow with natural convection, forced convection, mixed convection, and displacement ventilation in rooms. The predicted results are compared with experimental data and the results of CFD simulations. The simplified method can predict reasonably good indoor airflow patterns and the distributions of air temperature and contaminant concentrations.

Our results seem to show that the simplified model coupled with the use of Feel++ obtains better predictions than those of Chen and Xu.

I would like to conclude this report by thanking Cemosis for having me as in intern, and in particular Vincent Chabannes for our weekly meetings and his availability to answer my questions even during his vacation.
