Model that transport CO2 through buoyancy driven flow
Information
This model is based on
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Validation.ThreeRoomsContam.
In addition, a CO2 source has been added to the left room
in the bottom floor.
At initial time, all volumes have zero CO2 concentration.
At t=3600 seconds, CO2 is added to volWes.
As time progresses, the CO2 is transported to
the other rooms, and eventually its concentration decays.

Model that demonstrates the chimney effect with a steady-state model of a shaft
Information
This model demonstrate buoyancy-induced air flow
through a vertical shaft.
On the right, there are two flow paths that are connected
to a volume, which is kept at 20°C through a feedback
controller, and to the ambient, which is at
0°C.
The flow path on the very right consists of an orifice
and two models that compute the pressure difference
Δp
between
the bottom and top of the medium column using Δp=h ρ g,
where
h is the height of the medium column,
ρ is the density of the medium column and
g is the gravity constant.
The top model is parameterized to use the
density from the ambient,
whereas the bottom model is parameterized to use
the density from the room volume, regardless of
the flow direction.
In the other flow path, the model sha
is parameterized to use the density of the inflowing
medium.
Thus, these models can be thought of as a chimney to the left,
and a roof with a leakage on the right. The chimney height starts
1.5 m below the roof, and ends 1.5 m above the roof.
The flow boundary condition of the model
boundary is such that at the start
of the simulation, air flows from boundary
to roo until t=600 seconds. Then, the flow rate
is set to zero until t=1800 seconds.
Since the shaft sha is filled with
20°C air, there is a circulation in the clock-wise
direction; up the shaft, and down the other flow path.
Next, until t=2400 seconds, air is extracted from
the volume roo, and then the flow rate
of boundary is set to zero. Since the
shaft sha is now filed with air at 0°C,
there is a counter clock-wise flow; down the shaft, and
up the other flow path.

Model that demonstrates the chimney effect with a dynamic model of a shaft
Information
This model is identical to
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Examples.ChimneyShaftNoVolume,
except that the chimney model is not steady-state, but rather dynamic
as it contains an air volume. The air volume is approximated
as being well-mixed. (Stratified volumes could be approximated by
using multiple instances of the model sha that are
connected in series.)

Model with three closed doors
Information
This model consists of three volumes that are connected among
each other through three doors that all have the same geometry.
All doors are closed, but they are not air-tight.
Heat is added and removed from volB which induces
a small air flow through the doors.
This model uses
Buildings.Media.Specialized.Air.PerfectGas
as the medium because
Buildings.Media.Air
does not account for expansion if air the air is heated.

Test model for flow reversal due to density difference
Information
This model illustrates buoyancy-driven natural ventilation between
two volumes of air.
The volume volA can be considered as the volume of a room,
and the volume volOut is parameterized to be very large to emulate
outside air.
The outside air is 20°C and at initial time, the room air is
18°C.
This induces an airflow in counter clock-wise direction. Since
heat is added to the room air volume, its temperature raises above the temperature of the outside, which causes the air flow to reverse its direction.

Model with an effective air leakage area
Information
This model consists of a model for an effective air leakage area
that is connected to two air volumes.
Air flows due to the addition of air to the volume volA

Model with one open and one closed door
Information
This model consists of two doors with the same geometry.
For t ≤ 1000 seconds, the door dooOpeClo
is closed, and afterwards it is open. The door
dooOpe is always open.
Heat is added to the volume volB, which causes
a density difference between volA and volB.
This density difference induces a bi-directional airflow through both doors.
Both doors have exactly the same bi-directional airflow rates.

Information
This model is similar than
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Validation.ThreeRoomsContam but it has four
instead of three rooms.
The outdoor conditions are held constant at 10°C and
atmospheric pressure.
All four rooms are at different temperatures, with the rooms on the bottom
floor being initially at a higher temperature than the rooms on the bottom floor.
As time progresses, the temperatures of the two rooms on the respective floors
asymptotically approach each other. The bottom floor eventually cools below
the temperature of the top floor, because the
bottom floor directly exchanges air with the outside.

Model with three rooms and buoyancy-driven air circulation that reverses direction
Information
This model is similar than
Buildings.Airflow.Multizone.Validation.ThreeRoomsContam.
However, the initial temperatures are such that at the start of the
simulation, the flow direction between the three rooms reverses direction.
At the start of the simulation,
the outdoor temperature is 15°C,
and the temperatures of the volumes are
20°C at the top,
22°C at the bottom west and
25°C at the bottom east.
Thus, initially there is a net flow circulation in the counter-clock
direction.
Because the volume on the east exchanges air with the outside,
it cools down fast. Once it cooled down sufficiently,
the flow direction between the three rooms reverses
because the air in the bottom east is heaviest.

Model with prescribed air exchange between two volumes
Information
This example illustrates the use of the models that
exchange a prescribed flow rate between the
volumes that are attached to it.
The block ACS prescribes the air exchange rate to
5 air changes per hour.
The instance zonFlo takes as an input the air change per seconds,
and the instance floExc takes as inputs the mass flow rate.
For both instances, the air flows from
rooA to rooB, and
from rooB to rooA.
