Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become a useful tool for the study of indoor and outdoor environment problems. Recently, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) has developed several Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equation models and Large Eddy Simulation(LES) models to enhance the capabilities of CFD for use in indoor and outdoor environment design. The new models have been successfully used to assess building shape design, to evaluate the effectiveness of natural ventilation in buildings, to model Volatile-Organic-Compound(VOC) emission from building materials, and to calculation indoor environment parameters.
