This model tests the cosimulation of Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.CFD with the FFD program by simulating natural convection in a room with only exterior walls and windows with shades.
Figure (a) show the schematic of FFD simulation. The walls and the windows are exposed to the ambient environment. The wall is well insulated and the initial temperature is 20°C. The initial temperature for the room air is 17°C.

Figure (b) shows the velocity vectors and temperature contours in degree Celsius on the X-Z plane at Y = 0.5 m, at t = 300 s as simulated by the FFD.
Figure (b)
Note: The current version of the FFD program does not support a moving boundary. Thus, the shade can only be at a fixed position as determined by the parameter uSha_fixed={0.5,0.5}.
