A Simple Empirical Method for Estimating Extreme Air Velocities from CFD Mean-Flow Statistics: Validation Using ISS Columbus and CASA Ventilation Data

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models are widely used for spacecraft cabin ventilation design; however, they primarily provide mean-flow quantities and often underestimate velocity extremes relevant to crew comfort,...
