Original Abstract

Simulation methods are a very useful tool for the optimisation of the solar building performance, since they enable to predict performance parameters still in the stage of the design. The CFD simulation has become very popular, because of its capability to model particular details of the temperature fields and airflow patterns. These features are essential just in the case of solar-heated rooms with the intense heat fluxes and natural convection. The presented paper deals with critical aspects of these problems, touches possibilities and drawbacks of some CFD codes in this area on and, on basis of several solved cases, presents outcomes which can be obtained by this method.
