Abstract
A new Finite element model for HVAC applications is introduced. The model incorporates flow turbulence, buoyancy effects and unsteadiness. Also, the model accommodates complicated boundaries due to complex geometries and perforated tiles. Experimental validation is provided and extensive results for flow and temperature contours are presented. Temporal and spatial resolution prove that the model can capture important HVAC features as thermal comfort, buoyancy induced flow, complex boundaries.
