The growing demand from the industry to fulfill stricter international standards creates the necessity to ensure that the thermofluidic behavior of climatic chambers guarantees high-quality consistency in their interior domain. At present, scientific research on climatic chambers available in the literature is scarce and is mostly based on lumped modeling, hence not addressing the heterogeneities that arise in the interior of the chamber. In this work, an in-depth 3D model of the velocity and temperature fields that develops in the interior of climatic chambers was developed in computer fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated with the experimental data from a new prototype. The key objective of this research was to establish a validated framework for model-based design optimization of climatic chambers. The proposed model showed good agreement with the experimental data with a difference of 0.6 m\/s and 9.65 \u00b0C in the velocity and temperature fields, respectively, thus validating its applicability to perform model-based design optimization of climatic chambers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1115\/1.4043808","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,20]],"date-time":"2019-05-20T17:30:36Z","timestamp":1558373436000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1115\/crossmarkpolicy-asme","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Computational Fluid Dynamics Modeling and Experimental Validation of the Thermofluidic Performance of Climatic Chambers"],"prefix":"10.1115","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"R.","family":"Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , Research and Technological Development Unit, 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Brett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , Research and Technological Development Unit, 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"Almerindo D.","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra ADAI\u2014LAETA, Department of Mechanical Engineering, , 3030-194 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"Serra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , Research and Technological Development Unit, 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Jesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , Research and Technological Development Unit, 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Fino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , Research and Technological Development Unit, 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Tadeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ITeCons, Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability , 3030-289 Coimbra , Portugal"},{"name":"University of Coimbra ADAI\u2014LAETA, Department of Civil Engineering, FCTUC, , Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARALAB, C\u00e2maras Clim\u00e1ticas e Ambientes Controlados , Research and Development Unit, 2635-047 Rio de Mouro , Portugal"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Ra\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARALAB, C\u00e2maras Clim\u00e1ticas e Ambientes Controlados , Research and Development Unit, 2635-047 Rio de Mouro , Portugal"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ARALAB, C\u00e2maras Clim\u00e1ticas e Ambientes Controlados , Research and Development Unit, 2635-047 Rio de Mouro , Portugal"}]}],"member":"33","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022121417401454800_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"256","DOI":"10.1016\/j.enbuild.2014.09.020","article-title":"A Transient Thermal Model for Full-Size Vehicle Climate Chamber","volume":"85","author":"Liang","year":"2014","journal-title":"Energy Build."},{"issue":"3","key":"2022121417401454800_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"4423","DOI":"10.3182\/20140824-6-ZA-1003.01571","article-title":"Model Predictive Control of Climatic Chamber With On-Off Actuators","volume":"47","author":"Dost\u00e1l","year":"2014","journal-title":"IFAC Proc."},{"key":"2022121417401454800_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1016\/j.trd.2017.11.010","article-title":"Estimation of Thermal Loads in a Climatic Chamber for Vehicle Testing","volume":"65","author":"Garc\u00eda-Contreras","year":"2018","journal-title":"Transp.
