modelWindConvection

Convective heat exchange coefficient of a wall taking into account wind speed and direction
Diagram of WindConvection

Extends from BuildSysPro.BaseClasses.HeatTransfer.Interfaces.Element1D (Partial heat transfer element with two HeatPort connectors that does not store energy).

Information

Hypothesis and equations

Model to calculate the convective heat exchange coefficient on the outside, depending on the wind speed and direction, for an horizontal or vertical wall.

Correlation comes from notice TF112 of CLIM2000, for these two specific cases :

  • Windward façade (when wind is directed to the façade)
  • Leeward façade (when wind is directed to another direction)

An horizontal wall will be automatically considered as a leeward façade.

See notice TF112 from CLIM2000.

Instructions for use

none

Known limits / Use precautions

The model could be improved adding different correlations (roughness of the surface, tilt, wind direction...).
