Timetooth initiated the project by modeling the design and mapping boundary conditions. Further the CFD analysis was conducted in a systematic manner across three distinct domains to study air flow and throw in a room. The analysis was carried out in multiple steps to establish a comprehensive understanding of airflow dynamics within the cooler and its surrounding environment.
Domain 1: Short Room Domain
A small portion of the complete room was modeled to establish initial flow characteristics and process validation. This domain served as a preliminary testing ground for understanding basic airflow patterns and validating simulation methods against physical test data.
Domain 2: Half Room Domain
This domain included half the room’s length, allowing for a broader assessment of airflow behavior as it interacts with the cooler. The results from this domain were compared to those from Domain 1 and physical test data, enhancing confidence in the CFD model’s predictive capabilities. This step aimed to refine the understanding of airflow as it travels farther from the cooler.
Domain 3: Full Room Domain
The entire room was modeled with appropriate boundary conditions to simulate real-world scenarios accurately. This comprehensive model aimed to capture all aspects of airflow dynamics, providing the most accurate predictions of performance parameters across the entire room.
The analysis results were studied and applied to arrive at optimal design. The final design along with results were shared with the client.
