Thermal comfort in vehicle cabin can affect drivers and passenger’s health, performance and comfort. Due to spatial and temporal variation of state variables and boundary conditions in the vehicle cabin , the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC) does not have to be designed to provide a uniform environment, especially because of individual differences regarding to physiological and psychological response, clothing insulation, activity, air temperature and air movement preference, etc. The main objective of this research is to study the air flow regimes and thermal comfort in vehicle cabin using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. For this purpose, the CFD software from ANSYS Inc., called FLUENT 17.2, is employed. In which the solar load model is embedded s2s (surface to surface) as a solar radiation model. The CFD modeling techniques solved the continuity, m.. Read More»
