CFD Modelling Approach for the Optimum Cooling Scheme for the Partially Opened Corridors in a Commercial Centre

Abstract

Thermal comfort at a partially opened corridor in a commercial center is studied by means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling. Cooling load is verified to improve the thermal comfort to a satisfied level. Results on the temperature profile and air flow distribution are compared for several options. Feasible cooling strategy is proposed based on the cooling performance, air distribution, energy saving, and operation impact.
