Background: CFD for physical phenomena of ventilation
CFD is used to quantitatively predict thermal-fluid physical phenomena of ventilation
Simultaneous heat flows (e.g., heat conduction through the building enclosure, heat gains from heated objects indoors, and solar radiation through the building fenestration)Phase changes (e.g., condensation and evaporation of water contents)Chemical reactions (e.g., combustion in case of a fire)Mechanical movements (e.g., fans and occupant movement)

Conclusions
Verification – Use simple (2D) cases with same basic flow features as the case to be studied. The simple case should have excellent data quality Validation - Represent complete flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer features as the case to be studied. Partial validation is acceptable.Reporting - Contain experimental design, models, numeric, assessment, and conclusions. Do not have to be in a uniform format.
