Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of selected input parameters on the accuracy and usability of CFD simulations. This paper compares the achieved results of Computational Fluid Dynamics (hereinafter CFD) simulations of air age with the ventilation results of a specific experimental box. A total of 16 variants were simulated for different simulation settings, including various computational domains and meshes in OpenFOAM, Ansys Fluent, DesignBuilder, and BlueCFD-AIR software. The paper primarily focuses on the importance of meeting the suitability criterion for the yPlus parameter used in the wall function of turbulent models k- and k- SST, and the resulting air age. Simulation with the best yPlus parameter shows the best agreement in airflow velocity and air age with the experiment. Overall, this led to an improvement in accuracy by 41 % compared to original simulation and 56 % compared to the previous our best OpenFOAM simulation.
