Cross Ventilation for Swamp Cooler Cooling CFD Simulation

Explore cooling heat transfer in this practical ANSYS Fluent tutorial centered on swamp cooler cross ventilation. This session focuses on simulating the cooling effects of a basic swamp cooler model in a room environment.

Key focus areas:

Analyzing cross ventilation flow patterns
Simulating temperature distribution in a room
Evaluating the cooling performance of a simplified swamp cooler

You’ll learn to:

Set up the simulation using a pre-designed room geometry with a basic swamp cooler
Define boundary conditions for cooling and ventilation
Configure appropriate models for heat transfer
Interpret air velocity and temperature contours
Assess the cooling effectiveness in the room

This tutorial provides valuable insights into modeling cooling heat transfer in building environments. By the end of this session, you’ll have hands-on experience in simulating and analyzing basic cooling processes, enhancing your understanding of indoor thermal management and the application of CFD in evaluating cooling systems.
