Numerische Simulation von Gebäudebelüftung mit einem Lattice Boltzmann-LES-Modell

Numerical simulation of building ventilation with a Lattice Boltzmann LES model.

In this contribution ventilation effects are studied for the EnergieForum Berlin. To estimate the influence of external wind fields on the ventilation process, wind and temperature fields are simulated with a large eddy simulation (LES) model. With this approach spatially-and time-resolved output is generated. The Lattice Boltzmann method is being used on a D3Q19 grid with a multiple relaxation time (MRT) model. The recently developed EsoTwist scheme, which uses only a single set of LB distributions, is employed. The Smagorinsky model serves as the LES model. To model the temperature dynamics, the HTLBE method is used. The simulations are CUDA-based and carried out on a GeForce GTX580 GPGPU. The decay of the tracer-gas concentration over time and the mean flow through the building generated by temperature gradients and external wind is determined.
