Main Components

Indoor Case
Build an isothermal indoor ventilation case (room + inlets + outlets + sinks) for OpenFOAM 12.
Indoor Species Case
Build a CO2 species case (OpenFOAM 12 multicomponentFluid) with a breathing manikin.
Indoor Inlet
Ventilation inlet — defines where air enters the room (diffuser, window, door). Direction is computed perpendicular to the surface, pointing into the room.
Indoor Outlet
Ventilation outlet — defines where air exhausts from the room (return grille, open window).
Indoor Sink
A Darcy-Forchheimer momentum sink (filter/screen) box for an indoor ventilation case.
Indoor Wall
Set an indoor wall temperature (°C). Wire a room surface to give just that surface its own temperature patch; leave it empty for a single case-wide wall temperature.
Manikin
A breathing occupant (LOD-0 body with a separate mouth patch) for the Indoor Species Case.
CO2 Emitter
A CO2 passive-scalar source box for an indoor ventilation case.
Heat Source
A volumetric heat source box for an indoor ventilation case (transported temperature scalar).
Momentum Source
A fan/jet momentum source (mean velocity) box for an indoor ventilation case.
Viral Emitter
An airborne-pathogen passive-scalar source box for an indoor ventilation case.
CO2 Air Quality
Grade indoor CO2 (ppm) against EN 16798-1 or another CO2-based IAQ standard.
Facade Wind Pressure
External wind pressure on a facade per EN 1991-1-4, and the opening flow it drives.
Occupant CO2
CO2 generation rate of one occupant by age, activity and sex (Persily & de Jonge 2017).
Sleep Comfort
Sleep-adapted Gagge two-node model (Yan et al. 2022) for bedrooms.
Two-Node Comfort
Gagge two-node thermal comfort: SET, ET, PMV, TSENS and DISC.
Window Air Exchange
Air exchange through an open window (Maas 1995) and the steady-state CO2 it supports.
