Abstract
In building equipment, CFD simulation is a very effective means for predicting the indoor thermal and air environment at each work stage of design, construction, and operation. With the development of visualization technologies such as VR and MR, the use of CFD simulation is expanding in practice. However, it is difficult for CFD simulation to accurately simulate the airflow from the supply air terminal with a complicated shape from the viewpoint of calculation time and workload at a practical level. Therefore, many studies on CFD modeling of supply airflow that can reduce the calculation load while ensuring the prediction accuracy of airflow pattern have been reported so far. In this report, the CFD modeling methods for supply airflows with complicated shapes and some of related case studies are introduced.
