All our technical papers, methods and CFD fundamentals for the HVAC engineering domain — thermal comfort, pool airflow, large volumes and heritage conservation.
CFD simulation reveals stratification, convection currents and discomfort zones. This library brings together our HVAC engineering technical papers, from the fundamentals to applied studies.
Clear explanations, without unnecessary jargon — for decision-makers as well as engineers.
Each paper draws on studies carried out by our PhD engineers in fluid mechanics.
Open content to spread the culture of CFD and fluid mechanics.
