Abstract [en]

Fast fluid dynamics (FFD) could provide efficient airflow and concentration simulation. The commonly used turbulence model in FFD was RNG k- ε turbulence model which solved two transport equations to obtain eddy viscosity. To improve computing speed, this investigation implemented no turbulence model, Smagorinsky model and dynamic Smagorinsky model which calculated eddy viscosity without solving equation in FFD in an open-source program, OpenFOAM. By simulating single-building case and comparing with experiment and CFD, this study assessed accuracy and efficiency of FFD with those turbulence models. Compared with CFD, FFD improved computing speed without reducing accuracy. The simulation of FFD without turbulence model was fast but inaccurate. FFD with Smagorinsky model increased computing speed while ensuring the same accuracy as RNG k- ε turbulence model. FFD with dynamic Smagorinsky model provided accurate results with high efficiency. This investigation suggested FFD with dynamic Smagorinsky model for outdoor airflow and pollutant dispersion studies.
