Análisis Numérico De Un Sistema De Aire Acondicionado Empleando Mallas Estructuradas Y No Estructuradas

Abstract

This article shows the result of using the finite volume method to numerically simulate the thermal and fluid behavior of an air conditioning distribution system, using both structured and non-structured meshing. Initially, the mathematical model that rules the airflow through ducts was posed and the resulting system of equations was solved applying the k-ε turbulence model. Two techniques were used to discretize the calculus domain: structured and nonstructured meshing. The results indicate that both methods are efficient from a numerical point of view regarding the simulation of airflow in this kind of system.
