Why CFD for Building Design..

Building physicist & designers need answers to a wide variety of questions like "How does an air curtain responds to a temperature change of say 10^oC?", "What are the optimum positions to place the air conditioning ducts?”, etc.

In modern sophisticated design cycles, the approach of using experience combined with intelligent engineering judgment is not good enough. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes combined with now available enormous processing power can be conveniently used to conduct simulations to scientifically and accurately arrive at these answers.

CFD simulations can help designers build occupied spaces which are energy efficient, comfortable & safe. Typically applications include thermal comfort simulation, smoke path simulation and Indoor air quality simulation.
