As one of the alternatives to solve the problem of unstable food supply and demand imbalance caused by abnormal climate change, the need for plant factories is increasing. Airflow in plant factory is recognized as one of important factor of plant which influence transpiration and heat transfer. On the other hand, Digital Twin (DT) is getting attention as a means of providing various services that are impossible only with the real system by replicating the real system in the virtual world. This study aimed to develop a digital twin model for airflow prediction that can predict airflow in various situations by applying the concept of digital twin to a plant factory in operation. To this end, first, the mathematical formalism of the digital twin model for airflow analysis in plant factories is presented, and based on this, the information necessary for airflow prediction modeling of a plant factory in operation is specified. Then, the shape of the plant factory is implemented in CAD and the DT model is developed by combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) components for airflow behavior analysis. Finally, the DT model for high-accuracy airflow prediction is completed through the validation of the model and the machine learning-based calibration process by comparing the simulation analysis result of the DT model with the actual airflow value collected from the plant factory.

The present investigation is to examine the thermal behaviors of air flows inside Korean traditional house made of the construction materials transmitted. The methodology is numerical predictions of air flows depend on the temperature distribution inside the indoor spaces. The transient computational simulations are performed along with the different house types, weather condition, and operating time. Thermal properties of building units have been obtained by the parallel measurements and utilized in the numerical works. Consequently, the details of flows and temperature of air in the houses illustrate the thermal design of the traditional Korean house satisfy the requirements of human living.

Recently, forced ventilating air conditioning system has been widely used in modern buildings. However, It is obvious that this kind of system may affect on the response of fire detectors at real fire incidents, especially, on the ionization smoke detector, which is critically influenced by air stream. Therefore we studied to verify the response characteristics of air stream by ionization smoke detector for the design of facilities in practice. In this study, experiments were executed to examine the correlation between air velocity and the ionization detector's responses with var-ious air velocity and smoke densities in the simulated test room. As a result of experiments, ionization detector's operating time is in reverse proportion to air velocity. And the detector shows more sensitive reaction when the velocity of smoke stream increase over 60 cm/s. In addition, it was shown that ionization smoke detector is more sensitive to smoldering fires in paper than that in petro-chemicals.

A panoramic-PIV system has been constructed for the analysis of the airflows in a room. Smoke is used as seeding particles and are visualized by a pulsed laser (Nd-Yag, 120 mJ). Panoramic images have been obtained by an image composition process using the two images obtained by the two cameras $(1k\times1k)$ that are viewing the wide measurement areas. Velocity vector fields have been obtained by the grey-level cross-correlation PIV method. Three room models $(L{\times}W{\times}H[mm^3],\;500\times500\times250,\;350\times350\times175,\;250\times250\times125)$ have been tested. The experimental results have proven that the constructed panoramic-PIV system can be used as a useful tool for analyzing the airflow characteristics in the room models.

A customized CFD simulator to perform thermo-fluid dynamic simulations of an HVAC for an indoor space is presented. This simulation system has been developed for engineers studying architectural engineering, as the HVAC mechanical systems used in housings and buildings. Hence, all functions and options are so designed to be suitable that they are suitable for non-CFD experts as well as CFD engineers. A Computational mesh is generated by open-source libraries, FEMM (Finite Element Method Magnetics), and OpenFOAM. Once the boundary conditions are set, the fluid dynamic calculations are performed using the OpenFOAM solver. Numerical results are validated by comparing them with the experimental data for a simple indoor air flow case. In this paper, an entirely new calculation process is introduced, and the flow simulation results for a sample office room are also discussed.

대공간의 건축물의 합리적인 설계를 위해서는 온도 및 기류분포의 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 예측 방법으로 정밀해석 모델(CFD)만을 최선의 방법으로 생각하는 경우가 대부분 이지만, 비용과 시간을 줄이기 위해서는 설계 단계별로 보다 적합한 예측 방법을 적용 할 필요가 있다. 이것은 다양한 예측 모델들의 장·단점 및 실용성에 대한 충분한 이해가 전제될 때 가능할 것이다. 본고에서는 열환경·설비 설계시, 설계 단계에 따른 적합한 예측 모델들을 소개한다. 더불어, 적절하고 타당한 예측 기술이 설계에 반영되어 대공간 건축물의 실내 열환경 개선 및 에너지 절약이 이루어지기를 기대한다.

In this study, the qualitative prediction and evaluation of clean room being utilized for mass production of electrronic components have been performed with the help of flow simulation. Compared to the experimental analysis based on measurements of the number of particles, concentration of contaminants and flow characteristics, the numerical analysis used in this study is much cost-effective.
