Abstract:
This study aims to improve one sided room ventilation by using a combination between a ceiling fan and a modified opening based on Pressure difference occurs due to ceiling fan movement, in order to exchange inner and outer air, as it is one of the recommendation strategies to achieve thermal comfort in hot humid Climates.
Computer simulation CFD used in this study to analyze airflow and wall pressures to determine both maximum and minimum pressure positions due to fan movement in order to locate air outlet and inlet positions and find out a modified opening that allows inner and outer air to exchange.
