ABSTRACT
Automobile parking either be completely enclosed, or it can be partially open. Completely closed parking is generally underground and needs a ventilation system. Partially open car park garages are often above decks that have an open side. Natural and Mechanical ventilation, along with their consolidated use, can provide an ajar car park. The aim of the present work is to examine the designed ventilation system of the car parks using CFD Simulations. The specific aim is to check the ventilation of the car parking garages for the predefined positions of Inlet and Outlets such that it meets requirements of CO exposure limit, which is set by health and safety regulations. It involves 3D modeling of the car park area, meshing into finite volumes, and carrying out the simulation using CFD tools to have a quick analysis of the CO concentration and velocity profile of the flow in the domain. The results emphasize that the designed ventilation system was able to extract CO to maintain its safe level in the car park.
