摘要: Abstract Energy efficient buildings should provide a thermally comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Most airflows involve combined forced natural convection (mixed convection). In order to simulate the flows accurately efficiently, this paper proposes two-layer turbulence model for predicting forced, mixed convection. The combines near-wall one-equation [J. Fluid Eng. 115 (1993) 196] [Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer 41 (1998) 3161] with aid of direct numerical simulation (DNS) data Flow 18 (1997) 88].
