Hi,

I'm looking into the calculation of volume flow rate through a louvre within Macroflo, as I will then be exporting this data to another software package.

In the macroflo theory there are two points which I would like some clarification on please.

The first is that the discharge coefficient ...

Great, thank you.

When Tin-Tex < 6 the vent rate needs to be 10l/s/p
when between 6 and 9, the vent rate would be 7l/s/p
when above 9 then the vent rate would be 2l/s/p
when Tin is above 23 then the vent rate needs to be 30l/s/p

I currently have a large 4 floor atrium with glazed east and west ...

Hi there,

I'm looking to create an operational profile that varies with respect to internal/external temperature difference, for a naturally ventilated atrium.

This is useful since the natural ventilation rate varies with respect to the external temperature, with the smaller the different between ...

Thanks Phil and Marc,

I've got a while to try and do this (I'm a university researcher) so I will do as you say and start small and get bigger.

If anyone else reading this has any other experience modelling atriums then I would be very interested to hear about it.

Many thanks

Alex

I hope that someone can advise me on this. I am relatively new to IES.

I have built an atrium consisting of a decent number of zones with each wall appropriately defined as a hole in order to simulate a large airspace whilst maintaining some granularity throughout the zone. The atrium will be ...
