A detailed simulation study of individualized ventilation schemes in aircraft cabin seats was performed with the use of CFD methods. The ventilation schemes were selected based on a previously conducted parametric numerical study of personalised ventilation inlets of various sizes and locations in the aircraft suite. These selected schemes were then applied to business class seats and first class suites, with the boundary conditions based on physical measurements taken during actual subject testing. The study was was performed in an aircraft lining section, comprising of actual human subjects, passive manikins and some empty seats. The simulation study was conducted using an open source based CFD process (ICON FOAMpro) and a proprietary software (STAR CCM+). The results were validated against probe measurements from the subject testing and evaluated in order to illustrate the thermal conditions achieved by the individualized ventilation scenarios. The study was carried out as a part of the iSPACE project and its aim was to assist in the scope of fulfilling specific human thermal comfort needs in the frame of an individual aircraft cabin seat.

Detailní studie personálních větracích systémů integrovaných v sedadlech kabiny letadla byla provedena za použití metod CFD. Konkrétní umístění a typy distribučních výustek byly vybrány na základě dříve provedené parametrické studiu, která zkoumala možnosti umístění personální distribuční výustky různých velikostí a konstrukce v sedadle první třídy. Tyto vybrané systémy byly potom použity v sedadlech business třídy a první třídy, s okrajovými podmínkami získanými na základě měření během testování systémů na reálném simulátoru kabiny dopravního letadla. Při testování byla kabina simulátoru obsazena reálnými testovacími osobami a pasivními figurínami. Simulační studie byla provedena s použitím CFD programů FOAMpro a STAR CCM +. Výsledky simulací a měření byly vyhodnoceny za účelem ilustrovat teplený stav mikroklimatu u jednotlivých sedaček při použití individuálních/personalizovaných větracích systémů.
