18.54 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Conducting CFD Experiments
REFERENCES
CFD will not replace the physical experiments for airflow and heat transfer in the HVAC&R industry
completely; however, it will significantly reduce the physical experiments to study the airflow
patterns and the space diffusion effectiveness factor of various space air diffusion systems, the removal
of contaminants in clean rooms, and the effectiveness of the introduction of outdoor air to
the occupied zone.
Baker et al. (1997) asked, How accurate can CFD be? This depends on the form of Reynolds-averaged
Navier-Stokes partial differential (ReNSPD) equations selected as well as the boundary conditions.
Therefore, a range of CFD simulations or CFD experiments must be conducted to verify solution
sensitivity to model parameters and boundary conditions embedded in the selected ReNSPD
equations and their numerical method calculation.
