Numerical Study of the Influence of Insect Grille on Airflow in Ventilated Facade Constructions

Abstract:

This article discusses a numerical model to evaluate the influence of inlet/outlet insect grilles in naturally ventilated facades. Two models were created for this comparison. The difference between these models is in inlet and outlet openings. One model is fitted with insect grilles and the other one without insect grilles. Both models are three dimensional vertical ventilated cavity. Boundary conditions fit to summer season. In particular, the influence of insect grilles on airflow velocity and air temperature in the cavity are evaluated. The main goal of this work is to show the effect of openings size and geometry to functionality of natural ventilated constructions.
