Abstract
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and conjugate heat transfer models have been developed and/or updated to validate thermal requirements for the TMT International Observatory enclosure Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system, azimuth and cap drive systems, interstitial space volume, as well as the Summit Facilities tunnel, mechanical room, utility room, and cooler exhaust. The resulting thermal environment is assessed and linked to performance, wherever applicable.
