Abstract
Proper distribution of conditioned air plays an important role in both the comfort of the occupants and the air quality of ventilated or air-conditioned spaces. Airflow patterns and distributions of velocity, temperature, and turbulence intensity are the primary factors that affect room air movement and the comfort of occupants in the occupied zone. However, these factors are dependent upon thecharacteristics of the difuser air jet, i.e., expansion, mixing, and entrainment of room air. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of the diffuser air jet and its effects on the airflow conditions in the occupied zone is essential to modeling of room air movement and selection and design of air supply outlets.
