Abstract | Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an equation-intensive computer modelling method that can simulate transient and steady-state airflow patterns and temperature gradients, indoors or out. CFD is used to downsize heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, locate air outlets, generally create quality air and use less energy. The method is good for new construction, retrofits and forensic work, for example to investigate a building fire or a contaminant. The first project in Hong Kong to really make use of CFD to investigate a ventilation system was Simon Kwan's Hong Kong Industrial Technology Centre in Kowloon. |
