Validation of a Computer Program for Airflow and Contaminant Transport Simulations

Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to use a computer program which is work in the field of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) especially the field of airconditioning, which is called (Airpak) program; and validate the results obtained with the theory of multi-zone airflow called (CONTAM), also to validate (Airpak) program with the coupled program called (multi-zone “CONTAM” / and computational fluid dynamic (“CFD”) and finally validate (Airpak) program with experimental results. The following three modes of air flows were investigated: - Non-uniform air momentum distributions; - Non-uniform contaminant concentration distributions; - Non-uniform air temperature distributions. Airpak computed results were found to agree very well with the other programs used and experimental values. The results obtained have been presented in tables and figures.
