Yanping Xiao, Xuanzhong Wu
In this study, numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the changes in air circulation after the installation of fans in a large indoor sports hall. It was found that optimizing the arrangement of fans and the settings for doors and windows can significantly enhance air convection, improve the distribution of airflow, and increase the thermal comfort of athletes. The combination of natural ventilation systems with mechanical fans can further improve air quality and energy efficiency. These findings can provide practical recommendations for the design of sports halls, which are crucial for improving athletes’ performance and comfort, as well as enhancing the experience of spectators and other users. The analysis results indicate that in Model 2, the average wind speed of Scheme 7 is 1.6% higher than that of Scheme 5, 11.5% higher than that of Scheme 6, and 34.3% higher than that of Scheme 8. Therefore, Schemes 7 and 5 are identified as the optimal solutions for Model 2. When comparing the optimal solutions of both models, it was found that the average wind speed of Scheme 7 is 1.6% higher than that of Scheme 5, and 12% higher than that of Scheme 1, making Scheme 7 the overall optimal solution.
