IES-VE User Forum

I am referring to simple airflow as a result of difference in temperature between interior and exterior (buoyancy). Natural ventilation works with one of two forces (a) Wind (b) buoyancy; or a combination of both. Sometimes, it is necessary to design ventilation to work with buoyancy only. This is ...

Hi,
I am rather new to IES. I have checked this forum and have scrutinised the software but, somehow, I am unable to model buoyancy-driven flows. I can simulate normal flows (which would include buoyant and wind-related forces) using two openings; and I am even getting reverse flows for periods when ...
