CFD Model of Thermal Plume Occuring above Hot Surface of Kitchen Appliance

Article Preview

Abstract:

During the cooking process, pollutant fumes are released into the ambient air by the convection plumes. These convective plumes - thermal plumes – are generated above hot surfaces and they need to be efficiently and ecologically ventilated in order to achieve appropriate internal climate. Calculation method for determination of volume flow rate of rising convective plumes is described in German standard DIN 18869 [1]. This article focuses on study of thermal plumes using numerical model in software Ansys Fluent, determinates volume flow rate of rising air and compares the simulation results with the results from known computational relations.
