Resumo(s)
In this study the coupling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) differential and human thermal comfort (HTC) integral numerical models is developed and used. The HTC integral numerical model evaluates the thermal comfort in non-uniform environments, while the CFD differential numerical model evaluates the airflow inside the virtual chamber and around the manikins. The numerical simulation, using upper crossed ventilation and made in winter conditions, is applied inside a virtual chamber equipped with two seated manikins, one desk and two seats. In this simulation the numerical airflow values, obtained with two different computational grid discretization with one and two manikins, are compared with experimental measurements.
