Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a powerful modeling tool, widely applied in HVAC design. However, it could be computationally expensive and complex, and new techniques and models are needed for application in standard design practice. The building modeling community has been developing methods that are fast and accurate enough to be used in early stage of the design or even in real time control systems. This seminar presents application of coarse grid CFD, fast fluid dynamics (FFD) and reduced order modeling (ROM) on real problems, such as air distribution in buildings and data centers. It considers speed improvement and accuracy.
