Hello,
I'm doing some research on the coupling of Trnsys(TYPE56 Multizone) and CFD program recently. The most referenced work is the doctoral thesis of
Z. Zhai, “Developing an integrated building design tool by coupling building energy simulation and computational fluid dynamics programs,” Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003. http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/17617 And I see there is also a Type101 in TRNSYS for calling Fulent, so I tried to find more information about it, the only thing I found is a paper from Diego A. Arias
http://www.ibpsa.us/pub/simbuild2006/papers/SB06_231_237.pdf. In the paper Multizone is unfortunately not involved. I hope I can get more information from you here.
According to the work of Zhai, the convective heat transfer from wall surface to air is the key of the coupling process. My Question is, How can I implement the convective heat flux to TRNSYS?
Best regards!
