Re: [TRNSYS-users] trnflow-inside airspeed

Hi Mariëlle,

I am not sure if your approach will give you satisfying results since
airflow near surface should be less than Bernoulli-average (as you
proposed). A different approach uses correlation between hc and
temperature regimes.

'For internal vertical surfaces, the convective heat transfer
coefficient due to the difference between the surface temperature and
the temperature of the air adjacent to the surface was chosen for
natural ventilated cavities to

hc = K1 x (Tsi - Tair)powerK2

with
K1, K2 correlation factors.'
Several sources give you a variation of answers (f.e. Recknagel or
Glueck). I used K1=1.5 and K2=0.25 for natural ventilation mode in my
research which you might find helpful and which can be downloaded
