Issues
As part of the extension project of the Lyon airport , design by Roger Stirk Harbour & Partners, we realize for the engineering consulting firm INDDIGO, the CFD calculations of verification of comfort according to the meteorological scenarios, to the use and to the ventilation.
Objectives
- To characterize air flows and temperatures.
- To estimate the comfort levels (standard 7730) according to air speed and temperatures.
- To analyze the air quality through water vapor and Co2 concentrations.
Solutions
For the affected areas and for two meteorological scenarios, air flow simulations ( stationary 3D CFD calculations) take account of :
- The air flow rate at the nozzles exit and at the air returns,
- The thermal transfers by forced or natural convection and by conduction,
- The humidity transfers of the blown air and of the internal sources known (as people circulating into the facilities)
Benefits
These simulations have revealed discomfort areas and enabled us to propose and validate improvements of the ventilation system : type and positions of the blow-off nozzles and air returns. |
