CFD Assisted Study of Geometrical Parameters Effect on an Indoor Thermal Comfort

In recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on indoor thermal comfort due to its significant impact on human health and work productivity. Various factors can influence the airflow characteristics and thermal comfort in indoor spaces, making it essential to thoroughly investigate and understand their effects. The primary objective of this study is to explore the influence of roof height and room length on indoor thermal comfort in a ventilated cabin prototype. To achieve this, we employed numerical simulations using the ANSYS FLUENT 17.0 software, allowing for a detailed analysis of the cabin’s thermal behavior. The study considers six different geometry configurations of the cabin prototype, each representing a distinct combination of roof height and room length. The numerical results obtained from these simulations provide valuable insights into the relationship between the geometric parameters and indoor thermal conditions. Our findings demonstrate that the geometric characteristics of the cabin prototype play a crucial role in shaping the indoor thermal comfort. The results highlight the importance of carefully considering the roof height and room length during the design phase to optimize airflow patterns and create a comfortable indoor environment.
