Title	General flow and thermal boundary conditions in indoor air flow simulation
Authors	Li, Y1 Holmberg, S1
Issue Date	1994
Publisher	Pergamon. The Journal's web site is located at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/buildenv

Abstract	The concepts of general flow and thermal boundary conditions are introduced to treat the interaction between indoor and outdoor thermal environments in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The results from a multi-zone model are used to supply the general flow boundary conditions. The energy balance equation at wall-air interfaces is used to supply the thermal boundary conditions. An example calculation in a 13-room building shows that infiltration influences indoor air flow patterns considerably. The air flow in a room ventilated by displacement is measured and simulated. Two surface coatings are considered, i.e. black walls and aluminum walls. Implementation of these two boundary conditions is essential in predicting air flow patterns, air quality, and thermal comfort in a real building. © 1994.
