Split System for a Room HVAC CFD Simulation
Price: $24
- In this project, the HVAC inside a room considering equipment and people is investigated by ANSYS Fluent software, applying two splitters with fans.
- The 3-D geometry of the present model is carried out using Design Modeler software.
- The present mesh is done in ANSYS Meshing. The element number is 547820.
- It should be noted that the ideal gas equation is opted to capture the changes in the air density (buoyancy effect) due to temperature change.
- The fan pressure jump is defined as a polynomial function.

Split Air Conditioner for Room HVAC, ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Training
In this project, ANSYS Fluent software investigates the movement of the heated airflow inside a room. The air inside the room is heated using the Split Air conditioner for Room HVAC and is distributed inside the space with people using two fans. We perform this CFD project and investigate it by CFD analysis.
The geometry of this project is designed in Spaceclaim and consists of two split systems and office apparatus.
The present mesh is carried out in ANSYS Meshing. The mesh type used for this geometry is unstructured, and the element number is 547820.
CFD Methodology
A realizable k-epsilon model is exploited to solve turbulent flow equations, and the energy equation is activated to calculate the temperature distribution inside the computational domain.
It should be noted that the ideal gas equation is chosen to capture the air density changes due to temperature change and the consequent Buoyancy effect.
Split Air Conditioner for Room HVAC Conclusion
As was discussed about the movement of airflow due to the free convection and forced convection, the flow pattern and streamlines can be observed in streamlined contour.
The hot air will travel upward because of the decreased density (buoyancy effect). On its journey to higher room parts, it will gradually lose its temperature and fall. This systematic process will cause such flow patterns.
