CFD Flow & Thermal Comfort Analysis - Passenger Compartment of an Armoured Vehicle
The area of interest is the passenger compartment of an armoured vehicle. The main objective of this analysis is to optimize the ventilation system to achieve thermal comfort for the occupants. Every armoured vehicle is designed to fulfil some specific operational needs, hence there will be number of constrains, which has to be taken into account in the placement of the air conditioning system due to operational needs.
Conclusion
- Location of the ducts has to be placed based on the special requirements of the client.
- Maintaining uniform temperature & removing adverse temperature gradients.
- Removal of stagnation & recirculation regions.
