Description
Swamp Cooler Application for Building HVAC, ANSYS Fluent CFD Simulation Tutorial
In this project, the movement of the cooling airflow inside a room applying 3 swamp coolers is investigated using ANSYS Fluent software.
The air inside the room is cooled using 3 swamp coolers and distributed inside the room.
The geometry of this project is designed in ANSYS Design Modeler.
The mesh is carried out in ANSYS Meshing. The mesh type used for this geometry is structured, and the element number is 120250.
The velocity magnitude is 5 m/s, and the airflow temperature from the swamps equals 292 K.
Swamp Methodology
The standard k-epsilon model is exploited to solve turbulent flow equations, and the energy equation is activated to calculate the temperature distribution inside the computational domain. Also, Shell Conduction B.C is used for modeling the inner walls.
Swamp Cooler Application for Building HVAC Conclusion
Contours of pressure, velocity, temperature, etc., are obtained and presented. Temperature reduction is visible while applying swamp coolers for the room air conditioning.
Brandi Stehr MD –
Can these simulations be used for other types of HVAC systems?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, our approach can be adapted to simulate a wide range of HVAC systems. If you have a specific system in mind, we would be happy to discuss creating a custom simulation for you.
Abbie Cummings –
How do you model the evaporative cooling process in your simulations?
MR CFD Support –
We use mathematical models to represent the physical processes involved in evaporative cooling, including heat and mass transfer. These models are then implemented in our CFD software to simulate the performance of the swamp cooler.

How Can I get shock wave plot in results??
MR CFD Support –
Hi
You can go to the contours and see the contour of Mach Number, also plot velocity or Mach Number in Fluent or Post-Processing software.
Kevin Mann –
Could you explain more about the phenomena you’re simulating in the Building HVAC Using Swamp CFD Simulation?
MR CFD Support –
Certainly! This simulation models the airflow and temperature distribution in a building using a swamp cooler. It allows us to study and optimize the performance of HVAC systems using evaporative cooling.
