ABSTRACT
The aim of the paper is to show the possibilities of CFD modelling, and to evaluate ventilated air cavities (located mainly
in the floor). Using CFD software FLUENT (ANSYS), a model of ventilated air cavity 10 x 6 x 0.5 m has been created
where the calculated intensity of ventilation inside the cavity depends on wind velocity, air and ambient surface temperature,
and other boundary conditions. The results achieved in 3D simulation are represented by coloured temperature and velocity
fields, as well as schemes of floor structures.
Keywords: CFD modelling, reconstruction of masonry, air ventilated cavity
