Spatially Variable Boundary Conditions

Often times users need to specify BC with gradient. This has been raised on IdeaStation.

Applications include- Models where inlet conditions need to

match physical measurements- Wind shear applications

Sample Design Challenges – Flow/Thermal§ Is the air flow balanced in the room?§ What is the temperature variation through the

room space?§ Will the occupants in the room be

comfortable?§ Will temperature variation affect equipment?§ What is the local mean age of the air?§ Will the room be too hot or too cold due to

sun/shade?§ Is the ventilation design optimized for

minimum running costs?§ Is there a more efficient way of heating the

room?

Key Application Areas for Autodesk CFD

Assessing IAQ(Indoor Air Quality)

analyze airflow patterns with any degree of confidence, without the exorbitant expense of constructing a full-scale model of the space. -Marty Wallace, Senior Associate, Genesys Engineering

As built design Optimized retro-fit design

Projected energy savings

Single room ~ 1,000/yearBuilding ~ 70,000/year

Campus ~ 1M/year

Assessing IAQ – Case Study

Natural Ventilation

Natural Ventilation

Natural ventilation can reduce energy consumption by 10-30%

Thermal Comfort

Original ceiling diffuser design

Revision with slot diffusers & radiant panels

Office Buildings can realize up to 50% energy savings

using strategies which incorporate radiant heating

and cooling

before the project is constructed. This allows them to make more informed decisions pertaining to project costs and lets them evaluate system and energy trade-offs as well. Providing this type of service helps distinguish us from our competition.

Data Centers

New data centers can cost 2.5k-3.5k/m2

Retrofits can be far more cost effective and save 100k+

Data centre retrofits and ECMs can yield:• 10-160/m2/year

• 2 year return
