Modeling of Passive Chilled Beams for use in Efficient Control of Indoor-Air Environments

This work is done as a small facet of a much larger study on efficient control of indoor air environments. Halton passive chilled beams are used to cool rooms and the focus of this work is to model the beams. This work also reviews the mesh making process in Gmsh. ANSYS Fluent was used throughout the entire research and this thesis describes the software and a careful description of the case study.
