Abstract A numerical investigation was conducted to study the heat transfer in an aircraft cabin and the effects of air distribution under different angle and
inlet velocity conditions. The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations and the low Reynolds number turbulence model were used to simulate the
airflow in the cabin. Mathematical statistics was used to process the relevant data, and statistical results revealed that different inlet angles and
velocities significantly affect air temperature and flow field. The study also determined a set of optimum matching inlet vane angles and inlet
velocities that result in an environment which meets More >
