Visualizing co2 concentrations inside a house using cfd
Description:
"The release of CO2 primarily occurs via a screened doorway opening, with red indicating higher concentrations and blue indicating lower concentrations of CO2. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is being increasingly employed to enhance the indoor climate during the planning stages of new constructi
