Modeling of Coupled Heat Transfer and Air Flow in a Partitioned Dwelling with a Zonal Model - a Case Study Approach

摘要：

The three-dimensional zonal model,ZAER,has been extended to predict the temperature fields and the air distributions in a partitioned dwelling.This paper presents the validation of a model,for a partitioned dwelling in natural convection,by comparing against published experimental data,and results from another zonal model and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model.An application of ZAER dealing with the influence of a passive solar component upon the winter thermal comfort of an unconditioned Tunisian building is also studied.Results show that the zonal model,ZAER,is a powerful tool for predicting air flow and temperature distributions between and within rooms.It has the potential to describe realistically the thermal comfort within a dwelling in natural convection,by its coupling with a thermal comfort model.
