Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.

Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Validation model for zero wind speed

Buildings.HeatTransfer.Convection.Validation.ZeroWindSpeed

Information

This example tests the convective heat transfer models for exterior surfaces if the wind speed is zero. From t=0...3600 seconds, the wind traverses from North to West to South to East and back to North. The plot validates that there is no influence of the wind direction on the forced convection coefficient for wall surfaces that face North, West, East and South if the wind speed is zero.
