摘要:
This paper deals with the simulation of VOCs concentration dispersion, evaporated from flooring materials, with the purpose of understanding VOCs evaporation and dispersion mechanisms. A test chamber is examined whose flooring material emits a number of VOCs. Given the area specific ventilation rate and considering it as boundary conditions, experimental data for the examined compounds concentration, the dispersion of the VOCs concentrations is examined under steady state and transient conditions. The model developed is used in conjunction with a general - purpose CFD code, PHOENFCS, that can provide detailed information on the flow as well as concentration fields. The results of the above two simulation cases are used as a guide for two other cases, where faster restoration of the air indoor quality was investigated by changing the ventilation rate in the chamber. The simulation results were used as a basis for further analysis for VOC evaporation for other flooring materials; this will allow proper material selection as well as proper ventilation system for a more healthy and comfortable environment in a building.
