A Study on Possibility of CFD Simulation on Air Simulation in Minor Operation Theatre

[摘要] Inadequate air flow distribution in room is undesired as it will cause discomfort to the occupant. Fair air flow distribution is important as it will affect the performance of the occupant as well. The objective of this research work is to develop a realistic Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model of Minor Operation Theatre for investigating the air flow pattern in Minor Operation Theatre. One unit of Air Conditioner in Minor Operation Theatre has been selected for this study. The distribution of air flow pattern is analysed. The real measurement is conducted using a digital air flow anemometer with USB interface and the channels digital handheld temperature thermometer meter data loggers for validation purpose. CFD simulation is conducted by applying ANSYS Fluent software. The result of measurement and simulation are compared and validated. Based on the simulation and experiment findings, it proofs that ANSYS Fluent can be used for air simulation and relocation recommendation is proposed with the purpose for better distribution of air flow in Minor Operation Theatre.
