CFD Software for Air Curtains

Application

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a technique for modelling air flow and is

an ideal tool for simulating the effects of air curtains in real-life building scenarios.

It has already been used effectively during the design process of the Biddle air

curtain range to optimise parameters such as discharge temperature and velocity.

After extensive collaboration with the engineering department at the University of

Warwick, Biddle now has a CFD package specifically designed for modelling air

curtains and other ventilation equipment in the built environment. The program

takes account of various aspects of the building, including location, precise

geometry, leakage characteristics and wind profiles, to provide a solution unique

to the building under consideration.

This package has now been used successfully for over five years to provide

information that enables consultants and architects to specify the correct climate

separation system for their building from the earliest design stage. For example,

simulations can be undertaken to examine the effect various air curtain models

and different mounting configurations have, ensuring the final choice of unit

provides an effective solution without compromising specification.

The format of the CFD results depends on the situation modelled. They can be

presented as air temperature profiles, speed profiles or velocity vectors.
