Yi,<br>
I should start by saying that I do not have any direct experience
with coupling TRNSYS and Fluent. However, in Type56, you can define
gains in a zone and you can define them as having a radiative
component, a convective component and a latent component. I would
imagine that the coupling to which the paper refers is by defining a
purely convective gain in the zone. <br>
Kind regards,<br>

<div>Hello,</div>

</div>
<div>I'm doing some research on the coupling of Trnsys(TYPE56
Multizone) and CFD program recently. The most referenced work
is the doctoral thesis of <span style="line-height:1.35">Z.
Zhai, “Developing an integrated building design tool by
coupling building energy simulation and computational fluid
dynamics programs,” Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, 2003. </span><a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>And I see there is also a Type101 in TRNSYS for calling
Fulent, so I tried to find more information about it, the only
thing I found is a paper from Diego A. Arias <a

In the paper Multizone is unfortunately not involved. I hope I
can get more information from you here.</div>
<div>According to the work of Zhai, the convective heat
transfer from wall surface to air is the key of the coupling
process. My Question is, How can I implement the convective
heat flux to TRNSYS?</div>
