Thermal CFD Analysis of Tubular Light Guides

Thermal CFD Analysis of Tubular Light Guides

Tubular light guides are applicable for daylighting of windowless areas in buildings. Despite their many positive indoor climate aspects they can also present some problems with heat losses and condensation. A computer CFD model focused on the evaluation of temperature distribution and air flow insi...
