Case Studies of Modeling Industrial Environments

Sponsor: TC 04.10 Indoor Environmental Modeling; TC 05.08 Industrial Ventilation; TC 09.02 Industrial Air Conditioning

Chair: Walter Schwarz, Ph.D., Member, Fluent Inc., Lebanon, NH

This seminar presents case studies which use various types of modeling that may include, but not be limited to, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, multizone modeling and/or other analytical or lumped parameter modeling of air movement within industrial environments. The cases stem from real-life problems concerned with environmental conditions that may affect personnel, processes, and equipment in broadly-classified industrial settings. The presentations show how the results of the modeling influenced the design and/or operation of the industrial environment and what was gained by doing the modeling.
