CFD Simulation of HVAC System in a Building using ANSYS - Fluent

CFD study of Jet Impingement Test erosion using Ansys Fluent® and OpenFOAM®

The initial aim of this study was to compare OpenFoam and Ansys Fluent in order to verify OpenFoam’s Lagrangian Library and erosion capabilities. However, it was found that previous versions of Fluent have been providing wrong results for the discrete phase and the differences with the latest version (Ansys Fluent 15) are shown. A Submerged Jet Impingement Test is an effective method for studyi...

Modeling particle-loaded single fiber efficiency and fiber drag using ANSYS–Fluent CFD code

In this paper, we present a methodology for simulating pressure drop and collection efficiency of a filter medium during instantaneous particle loading using the ANSYS–Fluent CFD code, enhanced with inhouse subroutines. The simulations are comprised of a numerical solution of the Stokes equations for obtaining the air flow field, and Lagrangian particle tracking, for determining the particle co...

HVAC System Validation Simulation

This paper describes the concept of using simulation as a tool for performance validation and energy analysis of HVAC systems. Recent advances in control system technology, including the development of open protocols such as BACnet have made sensor and control signal information from various components and subsystems in a building more accessible. This development has created significant potent...

From ANSYS to System Level Simulation: MOR for ANSYS

The modern development in mathematics bridges this gap (see Fig. 1). It allows us to start from a high dimensional system obtained by finite elements and then automatically generate a low dimensional approximation. The dimension of a reduced model is controlled by the approximation error specified by the user. In this article the software MOR for ANSYS [1] is presented. MOR for ANSYS applies ne...
