Abstract

This paper describes a benchmark test which can be used for tests of CFD predictions of room air distribution. The benchmark describes a box-like room with a supply slot along the side wall. Laser-Doppler measurements and hot-wire measurements are given for comparison with the obtained CFD predictions both for isothermal flow and for nonisothermal flow. The benchmark is defined on a web page, which also shows about 50 different benchmark tests with studies of e.g. grid dependence, numerical schemes, different source codes, different turbulence models, RANS or LES, different turbulence levels in a supply opening, study of local emission and study of airborne chemical reactions. Therefore the web page is also a collection of information which describes the importance of the different elements of a CFD
procedure.

The benchmark is originally developed for test of two-dimensional flow, but the paper also shows results for three-dimensional steady flow.
