Numerical Simulation and Scrutinizing the Influence of Common Materials Trombe Wall on the Air Gap Region

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The study delves into an investigation of the influence of diverse common materials on the performance of conventional Trombe walls, namely concrete, cement, and brick. To accomplish that, the utilization of two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations with ANSYS Fluent was done to profoundly analyze the air gap region and map out the temperature distributions and air dynamics. The accumulating of beneficial understandings from the findings will significantly contribute to the optimization of Trombe wall designs, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and proposing practical guidance for sustainable building practices. Pushing onwards, Recommendations for future research could potentially incorporate three-dimensional CFD simulations for a more comprehensive understanding, also examining a broader array of material alternatives and additionally fine-tuning the design parameters precisely within the air gap region.
