CFD Flow & Thermal Comfort Analysis – IIT Kharagpur, Nalanda Complex, Auditorium

Objective

Auditoriums are used for assembly of large numbers of people, hence maintaining thermal comfort will help in improving the productivity of its occupants. This analysis will study & optimize the performance of an Auditorium Air Conditioning System. The simulation has taken into account both the internal(human & equipment heat load) & external(solar heat flux) heat source.

Results

  • Simulation results show uniform temperature profile.
  • Large temperature gradients have been removed.
  • Simulation was carried out for both summer & monsoon conditions and results show optimized flow profile & uniform temperature gradients in both cases.
