[TRNSYS-users] Applying symmetric boundary conditions using Trnflow

[Mohamed Adel]

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is requested to do a simulation for a big identical geometry. The idea isthat
it is needed to model just one segment of the whole geometry, then the andapply
symmetrical boundary conditions to two sides of the segments and the other two
sides shall interact with the surrounding air. Attached is a simple sample
indicating a geometry composed of eight zones. It is intended to apply
symmetrical boundary conditions between zones (1 , 4) and zones (5,8). So the
idea applied in this model was connecting zone 1 to an auxiliary air node
(AN001) and connecting the same auxiliary (AN001) air node to zone 4. Also
connecting zone 5 to an auxiliary air node (AN002) and connecting the auxiliary
air node (AN002) to the zone 8. Please advise if this is the right way to apply
a symmetric boundary conditions at that zones or not, if not please advise how
to do it. please find attached the needed files.

Best Regards

Mohamed Adel
MSc. Ing.
