Abstract
• Integration of realistic HVAC duct geometries in CFD simulations. • Addressed inaccuracies of uniform boundary conditions in airflow modeling. • Validated simulations with high-fidelity LDV and PIV experimental data. • Demonstrated the importance of non-uniform boundary conditions. • Improved airflow and thermal comfort predictions in personalized ventilation. In recent years, the accurate numerical simulation of airflow in vehicle cabins has become increasingly important for optimizing thermal comfort and energy efficiency. This study investigates the impact of realistic boundary conditions on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations for vehicle ventilation systems. The research integrates detailed HVAC duct data to provide a more accurate representation of airflow characteristics, diverging from conventional approaches that often assume uniform inlet conditions. Using a 3D CFD model, airflow patterns were simulated under two scenarios, comparing a case with simplified boundary conditions to one incorporating detailed duct geometries and realistic conditions. The numerical model was validated using experimental data, including Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) and Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements. The findings reveal that using realistic boundary conditions significantly enhances the accuracy of airflow predictions, particularly regarding velocity distribution and thermal comfort. This work highlights the critical role of detailed boundary condition specification in improving the reliability of CFD simulations for vehicle ventilation and other personalized ventilation applications.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
