CFD modeling of a self-oscillatory airflow regime in the test ventilated room with plane supply opening
Abstract
The current contribution presents the results of numerical simulation of the airflow and heat transfer in a model room of rectangular shape ventilated with a single plane jet under the conditions of the experiment by Mataoui et al. (2001). The 2D and 3D unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes approaches were used. Numerical solutions were obtained with the CFD package ANSYS Fluent based on the finite volume method with the cell-centered variable arrangement. The position of the air supply nozzle corresponds to the self-oscillatory experimental conditions. The results of the computational data validation are reported. Effects of the low-frequency velocity oscillations on the heat transfer parameters are discussed.
