Dynamic airflow simulation within an isolation room

Dynamic Simulation of an Industrial Rotary Dryer

Comparison of protected isolation techniques between the laminar airflow room and the life island unit.

The use of laminar airflow rooms and a life island unit for comprised patients was evaluated. Six patients spent a total of 170 days in the laminar airflow rooms and 112 days in the life island unit, and none acquired any exogenous infection. Patients were febrile for 7 out of 170 days (4.1%) in the laminar airflow rooms and 4 out of 112 days (3.6%) in the life island unit. No significant diffe...

Simulation and Experimental Validation of Chaotic Behavior of Airflow in a Ventilated Room

Chaos may lead to instability, extreme sensitivity and performance reduction in dynamic systems. Therefore it is unwanted in many cases. Due to these undesirable characteristics of chaos in practical systems, it is important to recognize such a chaotic behavior. In this paper the chaotic behavior of the airflow in case of an ordinary ventilated room is researched. Computational chaotic behavior...

Assessing Multizone Airflow Simulation Software

Several standard multizone modeling programs, in order to improve their computational efficiency, make a number of simplifying assumptions. This paper examines how those assumptions reduce the solution times and memory use of the programs, but at the cost of restricting the models they can express. Applications where these restrictions may adversely affect the program’s usefulness include: (1) ...

Parallel 3D Airflow Simulation on Workstation Clusters

Thesee is a 3D panel method code, which calculates the characteristic of a wing in an inviscid, incompressible, irrotational, and steady airrow, in order to design new paragliders and sails. In this paper, we present the parallelization of Thesee for low cost work-station/PC clusters. Thesee has been parallelized using the ScaLAPACK library routines in a systematic manner that lead to a low cos...
