The results of research of engineering solutions for ventilation of swimming pools based on mathematical modeling taking into account real thermal loads and moisture releases are presented. The analysis of air distribution options in rooms with swimming pools for various purposes – a public swimming pool, a SPA complex and a sports pool with bleachers for spectators. Based on the results obtained in the form of distribution fields of the parameters of the air environment, the necessary changes in the schemes of the organization of air exchange are revealed. If the parameters deviate from the normalized values, recommendations have been developed to improve the state of the microclimate. These temperature distributions allow us to conclude that the air temperature near the surfaces of external fences meets the requirements that ensure their safety. conclusions on the compliance of the obtained results with the required parameters of the microclimate for rooms with high relative humidity.

Numerical simulation is becoming more and more widespread when solving the problems of air distribution and inflow air rate. One of the questions of using CFD approaches legitimacy is the possibility of a reliable description of the flow in modern air distribution devices. In the present work, physical and numerical experiments were carried out for the SMK 200 jet nozzle diffuser. Velocity profiles were taken at various distances from the jet nozzle during the physical experiment. Numerical investigation tool was the integrated package STAR-CCM +. Numerical simulation was carried out using various turbulence models. Simulation results showed that the use of the k-ɛ models allows to describe the parameters of the flow with sufficient accuracy. Number of cells required for the correct flow description in modern air distribution device is suitable for practical application.
