- Must obtain a detailed knowledge of building related heat,
mass, and momentum transport
- Must obtain knowledge of building related application of
similarity principles and turbulence modelling
- Must understand different simplified procedures, as the
generation of flow elements
- Must understand the principles of heat and mass transfer in the
micro-environment of a human being
Skills

experiments
- Must be able to develop flow elements for room air
distribution
- Must be able to setup and perform advanced CFD simulations of
ventilated buildings including occupant modelling
- Must be able to develop proper boundary conditions for CFD in
ventilation
- Have the ability to choose, design and evaluate the different
types of air distribution in a room and in a building
- Have the ability to apply relevant models in building related
fluid mechanics
Competences
- The student must be able to establish, evaluate and reflect on
models on room air distribution and personal exposure assessment in
building related fluid mechanics
- The students must be able to combine and reflect on the various
methods applied in the area of building related fluid mechanics and
establish relevant solutions
Type of instruction
Project work with supervision, etc. supplemented with
instructions, workshops, presentation seminars, lab tests.
