Abstract

We describe numerical investigation of airflow and temperature field in a room with a convective heat source. The simulation involves using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to validate different turbulence models, i.e., the standard k- εmodel and the low Reynolds number k- εmodel. The comparisons between computations and experiments show good and acceptable agreement. It can be concluded that the CFD simulations can capture the main flow features and provide satisfactory results. It can be seen that the thermal wall jet created by the heat source greatly influences airflow pattern and temperature field in the room. It can also be seen that the advanced turbulence model may produce better results than the standard one under a suitable mesh scheme.
