Energy and Comfort in Virtual Aircraft Passenger Cabin Section—Part II: Three-Dimensional Airflow Around Hydrothermal Manikins
摘要
In this work the software that simulates the turbulent three-dimensional airflow around the passengers and inside the aircraft passenger cabin section, CFD, and the software that simulates the thermal response of the aircraft passenger cabin are presented. The first software calculates the field of air velocity, air temperature, among other environmental variables, around the passengers and inside the aircraft passenger cabin, while the second software calculates the temperature field on the surrounding and interior surfaces and the air flow to which the interior space is subjected. In this work, the field of air velocities, air temperature, among other environmental variables, are evaluated, either around the occupants or inside the aircraft passenger cabin. Air velocity distribution around the occupants are presented. According to the results obtained, it is possible to verify that the air velocity is higher in the upper passenger body section, namely in the head.
