Abstract
A numerical study has been conducted to simulate airflow and ventilation characteristics in the exhaust tower installed to ventilation of the multi-story underground parking lot. It is the objective of the present study to identify ventilation problems and to suggest the flow direction modifications of the ventilation system with the axial fan to improve ventilation efficiency in the low-rise section of the exhaust tower. Numerical results on SVE4 (scale of ventilation efficiency NO.4) and local mean age of exhaust ports are presented along with the location of axial fan on the direction of swirl flow and the dimension of exhaust tower. Ventilation system modifications on the direction of swirl flow have been suggested from the numerical results in order to prevent the flow interference by airflow discharged from the adjacent stories. The overall ventilation efficiency according to the rotational condition of the axial fans are compared quantitatively using the concept of SVE4 calculated by means of tracer gas pulse method to investigate distribution characteristics of the air discharged from each story among the exhausted air to the two exhaust ports in the narrow exhaust tower.
