      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

            href="http://www.ibpsa.us/pub/simbuild2006/papers/SB06_231_237.pdf">http://www.ibpsa.us/pub/simbuild2006/papers/SB06_231_237.pdf</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>
